2007. Raisin, prune, vanilla extract, cherry cough syrup, cocoa...you can pull notes out of this all day. Long finish with good integration and a nice, syrupy mouthfeel.

Nov 22nd, 2020Far too much oak for my liking. Made the wine thin and tangy. Not for me.

Nov 22nd, 2020Thanks G4 for inviting me to wine & food pairing at Il Bolognese. Deep maroon color with complex aromas of black fruits, cherry, tobacco, and spices on the nose. Full-bodied and follows by jammy flavors of blackberry, cherry, plum, chocolate, truffle, and soft peppery spices on the palate. Solid structure, firm tannins, and juicy aftertaste. Vibrant & delicious and paired well with red meat.
