Tried an older version a few years ago was not great then the ‘15 not much better. Dark purple color. Aromas of black fruit and spice. No complexity. Palate displays blackberries, firm biting tannins, with some oak on short finish ending harsh.  Ok now, not long term and not great.

From Foris (Total Wine?) drank on 12/21/2022. Light red. Nice cherry nose but non-Bordeaux taste. One dimensional mouth feel. Probably past prime.

About what you would expect from the vintage. Nice red fruit and rainer cherry on the front end, hollows out mid-palate and wains further on the finish.

Dark berries and black cherries on the nose, slight mineral palate. Smooth, full bodied with an oaky tannin finish. Paired beautifully with venison burgers!
