Rich smells of milk chocolate, ripe blackberries brambles and fresh blueberries, with hints of white mushroom, tart cherry, and saltwater taffy. Medium-light weight, deep opaque red with rich oily umami mouthfeel and light red fruits like cherry and plum on the palate, and soft well polished black tea tannins lingering nicely on the finish. Very interesting red, like a poor-mans-Ho-Brion (😉), would probably go well with tomato-cream sauce dishes and grilled meats or great by itself. Great value

A superb quality wine for a great price. Has to be ice cold and good with all food. 2014 is an excellent year.

Jan 10th, 2016Ok wine - had with chicken - quite minerally and tough - prob needs a good 2-3 years slow cooking in the bottle to open it up a bit. Good potential - tobacco and mineral notes
