This wine should be drinking well now through 2010 and yet the four bottles I have tried over the last few months have been somewhat closed and uncommunicative. It still carries a harshness/bitterness that needs to soften before this will become a really enjoyable wine. At the moment, it is at best a bruiser but has the potential to develop and mature into something more refined. I intend to hold off trying any more bottles until 2009 - I really hope it is worth the wait.

Rich color with mild aromas of berries and earth. Full nectar with mild acidity and slight velvet tannin. Rich and bulky but muted in flavor density. The finish exposes a bit of acidity.

Dark fruit smothered in oak. Not for me
