Well structured, nicely balanced with an abundance of succulent red and black fruits, light mouth coating tannins at the tasty finish. A bit heftier than a Tuscan Chianti but it went well with a Kielbasa sausage and lentil soup. — 6 days ago

Really enjoyable, smoky, dense fruits, herbaceous. For all those powerful flavors, still very easy drinking. A paradox! — 3 years ago

Garnet red, very good clarity, moderate to high pigment extraction. Luscious red fruit initially with a touch of black fruit on the finish. Light acid, good body, not too alcoholic. After 30 minutes caramel with a touch of eucalyptus and cola emerge while cherry recedes and blackberry undercurrent remains. 24 hours later, fruit flavors integrate with barrel flavors: cranberry, caramel, cherry and eucalyptus cough syrup. Nice complexity but decant to get there, requires patience. Moderate skin astringency on finish may lose some people but it adds to the complexity favorably for me. — 4 months ago
