PnP. Deep dark scarlet color. Warm floral nose. Notes of kirsch, black fruit, some herbs and a little soil. Impactful first sip, but a bit hot and lacking good structure to go with the ample fruit. Just ok.

Lt ruby, translucent. Nose of warm berries, plum, soil. Sweet fruit hits the mouth, red berries with some dry dustiness. Has an over the top richness.

Supremely delicious, although there's a little alc showing on the finish. I'm very sensitive to alc, so I detect it. 2005...one of the best vintages to boot.

Nice red berries and clove on the nose, very smooth wine. Had with prime rib on Christmas and it was delicious. Everyone loved it.
