Nice ruby color with only slight rim variation at this point. Barnyard nose, with cherry notes. Still good fruit on the palate. Great balance with good tanin and still plenty of acid to give this more age if you're holding.

it showed a lot of alcohol for a 2008, but this is most likely explained by the 85% of Merlot, for me it showed a rather agressive acidity and the balance wasn't there

Agreeing with MTC2's tasting notes, I also tasted a hint of leather. Balanced and mature.

This wine was better than expected for the price. It aged elegantly. Strong and powerful fruit and earth.

Tasted at NYC Winter Wine Fest 2012 at Best Buy Theater in Times Square. Nicely balanced & well done.
