Wonderful full plummy nose with just hint of earth. Big and full bodied. Soft but full tannins with lots of dark fruits balanced by light earth tones. Long, full, supple finish with nice earth and acidity.

Black cherry and cassis on the nose. Bright fruit with hints of bell pepper on the palate with a spicy, acidic finish. This is quite good, but will be better in 5-7 years.

Smooth and delicious. Smoky and fruity on the palate with a bitter, clean, and calm finish. Medium to medium low acidity. Will be seeking again.

Brambley cocoa surprise. Good stuff. Better the second day as it had a tight start.
