Drank over two nights. Dark red/black fruit, earth, a tad dense on opening, shy on nose. Day 2 much more open, lovely cherry, black cherry, red fruit, light floral notes. Oak present but not overly so, overall enjoyable once it hit its stride. Balanced otherwise as far as tannin and acidity.

Powerful and rich. Stewed cherry and vanilla feature prominently with a medium-long finish. Medium plus flavor intensity on both the aroma and palate means this is a repeat buy. Outstanding QPR at $22.

No contemporaneous notes. PnP, consumed over several hours. Very structured, tight, concentrated with noticeable tannin. Very good and nearly excellent. This needs air or more time in the bottle to be at its best. Impressive.

Pleasant surprise. Not sure how we got this but it was delicious with spaghetti and spicy red sauce.

Mid strength with some nice strawberry and tannic structure.
