Poker night with the guys. It’s not quite the same as the real thing, but it’s the best we got right now.

Some fruity and interesting things on the nose. Flavors are very nice. Easy. Like taking money from a bad, drunken poker player, or taking a nap after a hearty meal of stew and warm bread. A go to French red. — 6 years ago
This is in such great shape. Violet, dark plum, underbrush. Very poker. Gorgeously in place. — 2 years ago
