Wow, this was a great surprise! Very classic in style with everything you want from a claret - pencil lead, black currant fruit, cedar and smooth tannins. Will most likely gain further complexity with 5-10 more years in the cellar. 92+

Decanted for two hours; moderate sediment. Medium cherry-red color. Pleasant nose of strawberries. Medium-bodied red fruits on the palate balanced by lively acids. Tannins appear to be resolved. Medium length finish. Should drink well for another few years. A decent wine for under $25.
