Half bottle, decanted for an hour first and chilled to about 60 degrees F. A powerful wine, with dense aromas of red and black stone fruits and berries plus a fragrant set of secondary aromas of vanilla, violets, and jasmine. Wonderfully fragrant and rich. Flavors tend toward black and blue fruits with layers of spice, oak, tar, and tannins. Ponderous, take your time with this wine, it's worth it.

Really nice. Deep purple color and big legs. Bouquet of blossoms and a hint of loam. Nice rich body without being too heavy. A bit sharp on the back end — we popped and poured and it needs a bit of time to open up. But when it opens, it opens really nicely. Doesn’t taste overly young, either — just rich and full. A great treat for a rainy Saturday night. A nice wine that we’ll buy again.

Dark fruit and menthol. Nicely made maybe a bit one dimensional.
