This had a bit of VA to blow off at first. Lot of funk too. Old fig, graham cracker, stewed red and black fruits. A lot of plum and dates in the finish. Tannin structure was strong as was acidity. I’d enjoy these fairly soon.

Nice complexity of red and black fruits, baking spice, and evolution from attack through finish.

wow, perfect for my taste. smooth and soft with well integrated tannin. plenty of life and ripe fruit, good earth and herbacious qualities.

Opened nicely. Wonderful nose but kind of faded through the glass and finished beautifully once food was paired. I'd try this again.

Fantastic bottle. Very complex. Great balance of baking spice and black fruit with soft tannins. Had notes of blueberry and vanilla in the finish. For $20 it is amazing value.

Bright aromas of raspberry and oak. Very full bodied, good balance.
