Nose has cut fresh cherries, blackberries, dried cherries, prunes, old oak bark, black pepper and cherry concentrate.
Palate has dried cherry, dried blackberry, cloves, cured meats, bitter chocolate, vine bark and subtle/dry tannins.
Best when paired to food, ok alone. Decanted 90m, more time appreciated.
We were looking for an uncomplicated wine tonight to accompany our homemade pizza. A recent bottle purchase, already with 10-years of age, $17 was a good value in my book.

Musky Cherry, prune smell that bites lightly at the nostrils, the taste comes in round and big, sticky before then coming in an underwhelming arch given the attack, that regardless is very full and numbing to both the tongue and roof of mouth, the body essentially dances, meaning it doesn’t come in strong or fade, it jumps, which I find cool. At the end, the wine leaves a prune residue with a persistent but mild acid that creates a favorable combination

So smooth, so complex, just in perfect condition after 9 years.

Sharp definitive ending, big wine. Closed and held back acidity, likely changes with oxidation.

Smooth on the lips. Crispy under the nose. At 14.5% alcohol, nice legs. Fruity aftertaste on the tongue. Would highly recommend.
