Very nice week night drinker. Tannins are smoothed out now and this is quite a party pleaser. Full bodied but not over powering. A nice blend that can go with a variety of food.

Rating is predominately based on this awesome length. Initially very closed up, decanting of 90 minutes is recommended. Afterwards, poured it back in the bottle and let it in there for 45 more minutes. It was worth it! On the nose not that strong, on the palate then bitter notes initially, later on then beautiful plum and jam bit of smoke and awesome oaky vanilla notes. The length is MAGNIFICENT and absolutely can match up with more pricey wines. Would not buy a case but absolutely a few bottles for the cellar. Drink by 2028

Excellent value. Initially taste it was a bit closed, so decanted for a bit and it opened up nicely. Balanced flavors, initial fruit is well balanced with the tannins. Should improve more over the next few years.

Still too young to drink at this point. The heat of the alcohol overwhelmed the fruit flavors and aromas.
