Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Had another bottle. Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and sweet spices. On the palate ripe blackberry and currant flavors with vanilla spice. Medium finish, tannins still tight and grippy, ending with fruit and spice character. Ok for price.

Clean dark Ruby. Red and Black fruit aromas. On the palate dark plum and black cherry flavors with spicy notes. The wine was well balanced, s touch of vanilla oak and finished smooth with medium length.

No fruit on the front. Decent finish. Much better with the cheese pairing.
