Did not decant. Dark fruit (black cherry, cherry), spice, slight floral, slight herbal, tobacco, slight earth, good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

I picked this up at a recent library release for a good price. I was not familiar with this producer. The wine had a dark ruby color and was clear with very little sediment. Fragrant nose. The fruit has not faded much and the wine has developed some nice mineral undertones and complexity. It is still in a prime drinking window. Excellent.

This is is now in its prime drinking window, with black cherry, leather, sweet tobacco, cinnamon, mint, cocoa, and an incredibly juicy mouth. Wonderful.

Good red fruit, spice, lingering finish. Good acidity. Slight leather, earth/ minerality.

Intense garnet. Nose reminds of tobacco, leather, pepper, red fruits. Very youthful mouth, with silky tannins and a long milk chocolate finish.
