This wine is aging out beautifully. There is smoky raspberry on the nose. Plenty of fruit, esp cherry on the medium-bodied palate. Color is dark and tannins are very well integrated. The wine is fresh and lively despite the age. This wine deserves more recognition than it's gotten. Medium length finish is my only critique.

Spicy oak with just a touch of earth. A little bit of rusticity on the palate. Very light smoky and tart cherry on the nose. Let this wine breathe to open up. Pleasantly full bodied with a touch of velvet after having breathed.

Nice wine that is starting to show some age. A little bit lighter than I remember. Still nice.
