Deep garnet and color with slight brick and edges. Nose of crushed dark berries, tobacco, and hint of Kalamata olives. Taste of dark cherries, blackberries, espresso, kalamata olives, meat bouillon, and leather. Taste young and powerful. Well made wine and a very reasonable price point. Still fairly Tannic and good balance. Revisit in five years.

Opened an hour prior and paired with a prime rib dinner. Cork was in perfect condition. The wine was big and oaky but not overpowering. Notes of meat, dark fruit and pepper with a balanced finish. Not sure if this will improve but has the structure to go a bit longer. Overall, we really enjoyed this wine.

Meat, blackberry, barbecue smoke, with good juicy character. Tannins are well integrated. Drink within two years or so. Very tasty now.
