Great blackberry and cherry notes. Just enough tannin.

Plums and currants are very noticeable on the palate. Not bad for the price point.

Big fruit! I'm getting lots of gunpowder and strawberry jam on this, mixed in with a little metallic fork flavor and also cherries. This was served at an appalling 74 degrees. I let my waiter know that he injured me with this temperature and he comped the bottle, as he should!

Nice aromatic quality dances on the pallet will definitely buy again.

Rather bland. Let breath and tannins soften to nothingness.
