Beautiful dark color. Complex nose, can’t place it. Almost herbal. Smooth and balanced from start to finish. Low to medium tannins. I really like this one. — 3 months ago

Smokey charcoal and black fruit aromas. Black/blue berry fruit with a lot of oak on the finish. Jammy and very tannic but not oppressive due to the high acidity that keeps the wine in balance. Deep garnet color. Long and lingering finish. Thank you Ron B. — 2 years ago

The first time I tasted this bottling was about 18 months ago, it has developed nicely since. Oak vanilla is still quite prominent - don’t know how because only 30% was matured in oak barrel for about 10 month only - but it’s much more integrated, playing nicely with candied black fruits, leather, incense, and light herbs. Palate is rich and layered - again hard to grasp given the minimum oak treatment. Taste of chocolate, prune too.
Tasty and satisfying. — 4 years ago
