  Soft and smooth on the palate. Takes some time to open up, becomes more rich with air. Drink now.

  Drinking really well right now. Well balanced between dark fruit and secondary flavors of earth, tobacco, and leather. Full bodied and smooth on the palate. Long finish with moderate acidity.

  The wine has medium acidity. It smells like cool/menthol, black olive, flint, black currant (cassis) and oak. The body is medium. The wine finishes medium. It tastes like flint and stoniness. The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. The wine has round texture.

  Not too much on the nose. Fruit forward on the front palate, and finish is of medium length on the mid palate. Cherry flavor is prominent and probably at peak. An enjoyable if not special wine.

  a beautiful deep rich color and great legs, lots of cherry and a decent finish. Usually prefer a bigger cab but this was very enjoyable.
