  As expected this is still pretty big. Firm tannins starting to mellow with some air. Dip a feather in it and you could write a letter. But if you weren't expecting that you should probably stick to generic retail reds. Black and red fruit thickly coat the palate. Long finish shows blackberry and cassis. No tertiary flavors whatsoever. This is all about the big fruit. Enjoy it for what it is. Go big or go home.

  What a great blend of grapes usually used to add backbone to other, more “mainstream” grapes! This wine is drinking beautifully now — very well balanced, not “hot”,with a velvety, smooth finish. Great on a cool evening as a stand-alone drink. Excellent effort from AO.

  One of my favorite AO blend and JH knows how to capitalize on this fruit. Really dark purple with a lighter nose than previous vintages, but still possesses a great nose, pallet and finish

  Very dry - it seems young. There was something missing from this bottle - not the usual AO quality.
