Slow ox for 1.5hrs. The wine has some nice earthy elements working in the nose, black cherries and black plum skins, wet sage, and camphor. In the mouth the tannins are well integrated- the fruit acid is a little high leaving a nice tartness in the mouth, which I enjoyed- it kept the wine from feeling over-ripe. Flavors mimic the nose, but there is a nice depth to the wine and a good, solid mid palate. I'm super happy with the wine, a great value that really delivers.

awesome. loved the oak, love the dryness, love the smoothness. This was such a great wine with the long finish of the fruits lingering on the back of my tongue.

Raspberry jam on the nose. Hints of red fruit, anise and jam. Surprisingly delicious.

Good Bordeaux blend. Decanted for 1 hour. Smooth. Soft dark cherry balanced by nice oakiness. soft tannins with medium-long finish.
