Ruby with slight brick on rim. Dark cherries, leather, cassis on the nose. Ripe cherries and plums on the palate, tannins and velvety richness. Generous mouthfeel, long finish. Decanted one hour. At plateau and drinking well.

Fritza really nails the flavor profile: blackberry/black currant, vanilla, tobacco and cedar on the nose and palate. Slightly gritty tannins that are mostly resolved, but still provide a fair amount of grip on the backend and finish. Sweet NOLA coffee, black licorice linger on the finish. Delicious!

Opened, decanted and consumed over seven hours Oxblood colored, thick, full bodied. Vanilla, oak hints, lots of leather, iodine, cigar box, black tea, Deliciously smooth and well balanced. Tastes like the nose. Longish finish. This well structured wine is in its optimum drinking window. So impressed with this wine.

A dark purple Bordeaux blend (83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc). On the nose prominent vanilla with a hint of clove, blackberry, tobacco, On the palate the tannins have truly mellowed with flavors of coffee, blackberry, liquorice, prune, and a hint of mineralogy. Finish is lingering
