Ruby with a bouquet of dark fruit, spices, leather and licorice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with notes of pepper, smoky tobacco, herbs and cacao. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with smoky notes, cacao and earthy sweet notes. Just starting to drink now, but a few more years will benefit. — 9 months ago

Rich bright and dark fruit - black and red cherry, black and red raspberry- with note of coffee bean and sambuca. Perfect balanced acidity with tamed soft tannins and a velvety finish. — 5 years ago
A hit of new oak on pop and pour, developed well in the glass over the course of a few hours. Beautiful wine.
