Dark red color, ripe black cherry, black berry, prune, slightly smoky with dried red fruit, dried blueberry, leather earthy with dried herbs. Med plus to high tannin, med plus acidity. Powerhouse. Suggest decanted. We had lamb and steak with it. Perfect match!

Dried cherries and almonds on the nose with a touch of bottle age emerging. Balanced with tight earthiness and interest added with astringency. Clean refined.

Great wine! Drank it with traditional Italian food. Bright flavors not overly punchy and finished clean!
