  Medium Body. Mellowed fruit. Went well with cheese. Improved over two hours. Drink now. Not enough complexity or fullness to make into the 90 range, but a strong 89. Overall, nice agged bottle of wine.

  Prune and pen ink on the nose. On the palate, plum, black cherry, and notes of currant, beef blood, and savory spice on the medium finish, with moderate tannins and strong acidity. This is in its drinking window, and it probably won't improve, but it should hold for several years - it was definitely made to age. This was a very good to excellent value at a little over $40.

  Chocolate on the nose, subtle red fruit, good acid and a little heat on the back end. Served with a spicy vegetarian lasagna. Perfect

  Opened two bottles for pizza night and both corks were dry and broke. At first I bought one was corked, but it was just very tight at opening. Initially very dry, with a tannic grip, but it went with the bold flavors of the pizza. As time went on, the wine revealed a softer, red fruit medium body.
