Deep levels of dark cherry/plum, mellow tannins. Perfect for a snowy night paired with pulled pork. It’s one of yours Larry, miss you my friend!

Dark, warm, carressing wine. Images of campfire, hot chestnuts, roasted meats and melting chocolate appear. Cinnamon and sawdust. Primary fruit is browning, vanishing now, only dates and dried figs and prunes remain. Very good wine, very modern and concentrated. It's time to drink up!

Deep purple and opaque. Dark nose with black fruit, licorice, pencil lead and spice. A little hot and to polished from the oak. Soft tannins and not quite enough acid grip. Works best with hearty food when it becomes quite appealing. A good if quite modern effort.
