  Decanted. Deep garnet core, narrow pale garnet rim. Very odd, honeyed nose which took some time to blow off. Then plum and dark fruit, vanilla, soft tannins, modern, moderate-balanced acidity, good length finish. Unchallenging but quaffable, drink up.

  Big thick and heady. This wine is quite hedonistic, with smoky leathery characteristics on the nose. Thick legs in the glass, and the palate is full of smoky cherries and soft tannins. The finish has a very grown up and slightly bitter edge which is not unpleasant. A very nice wine.

  This big, brawny wine is deeply colored with a nose that exudes scents of crushed blackberries and tobacco. Its rich, jammy flavors evoke dried black cherries, truffles, and toasted oak, with hints of anise on the warm, lingering finish. This elegant wine is suited for long-term aging, but is immediately enjoyable thanks to soft, accessible tannins. It’s quite rare: only 2,400 bottles are produced, and a mere 360 bottles (30 cases!) are imported into the United States. Serve it with fork-tender beef braised in red wine or, more simply, a juicy grilled steak.
