Deep garnet in color with slight bricking edges. Nose of crushed dark berries, leather, and a hint of brett. Tastes of dark cherries, blackberries, tobacco, and hint of earth. Well integrated fruit and acidity. Has a slight sweetness, rich, and resolved tannins. Tasted better in cooler side. Probably just past it best drinking window. Drink now And over next three.

Deep garnet in color. Nose of crushed dark berries, leather, and a hint of brett. Tastes of dark cherries, blackberries, tobacco, and hint of earth. Well integrated fruit and acidity. Has a slight sweetness and richness to it. Tasted better chilled to low 60 degrees. Probably just past it best drinking window. Drink now and over the next 5 years.

Capable and elegant, if somewhat unremarkable. Is that fair when a wine is really good, just somewhat shy of hitting wow? Hits a whole bunch of strong notes, nice smooth dark fruit, tannins in balance, great weight and silky texture. Liked everything about it ... just not going gaga for it.

Enjoyed it more than the previous bottle drank a couple of years ago. It mellowed out and became more elegant. Served with lamb shanks and the strong flavours in wine went with the food really well.
