The wine is purple in color and the legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. Aromas and flavors include: blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, cassis, fig, strawberry jam, cherry, dust, flint, mineral, cedar, coconut, vanilla, lead pencil, clove, bell pepper, yeast, and eucalyptus. The ABV is high, the body is full and the wine has a long finish. Acidity is med. Overall, this is a very good wine that can be drunk now, but is suitable for further ageing.

This wine is a deep purple in color with a med(+) intensity of aroma. I smell blackberry, cassis, brown sugar, molasses, cream, cotton candy, and cooked mushroom. This is dry wine with med acidity, med(+) alcohol, med(+) tannin, full body, and a med(+) finish. I taste cassis, stewed blackberries, grape, plastic, herbaciousness, black pepper, and cedar. Overall, this is a very good wine that can be drunk now, but is suitable for further ageing. This wine could be laid down for 15 years or more.

ok, had better for less such as Baldacci Oakville, so would NOT buy again at $110 price point
