  So dark, so thick. Nose: blackberries, coffee, tobacco, sweet cherries. Palate: hot st first, full body and bold. Dark chocolate, blackberry, blueberry, oak spices, balanced, smooth.

  Black cherries and blueberries. Very long. But low acidity and sky high alcohol. It’s all about the fruit. A very pleasant wine to drink, but I don’t think it added much to a meal. At this price, I’d like more complexity.

  Drinking well right now. Could use a short decant, but not necessary. Dark fruit on the nose that changes over time to more red fruits. Some complexity - both on the nose and palette. Easy to drink and smooth. Would buy again. Laura and I both enjoyed it
