Ruby red color with pink rim. The nose when opened, was packed with dark cherry and some prune notes. With air, it seemed to pick up some mint and chocolate notes before making its way back to dark fruit. The flavor profile is packed with ripe, dark cherry and prunes as well as the aforementioned mint chocolate notes. Structurally, this has adequate acidity and minimal tannins. The finish has moderate length and highlights the dark fruit and chocolate notes. Overall, this wine is good but probably displays too much mint and chocolate for my palate.

Beautiful nose and color. Paired very well with Greek food. Not jammy

This wine has improved greatly during Cellaring. Lush dark fruit, but not overly jammy. Showed good balance and paired well with beef tenderloin.

Very floral with dark fruit, lighter profile and slight spice on finish
