Dark red purple. Red plum and black cranberry on the nose. Palate is medium bodied and a bit hot initially. Alcohol blows off to reveal yields the same aromas with a bit of tobacco and a healthy dose of butterscotch oak. A wee bit out of balance out of the bottle. Needs a bit of time in the decanter to level off. Drink now

Jan 2nd, 2020My second wine from this region. It was very nutty almost like a Madeira. There was a significant musk that did blow off over time. Cigar box and tobacco were out in full force.

Feb 3rd, 2018Medium bodied. Ever present oak and wood on the palate that's touched up by dark, leafy greens and bramble. Soft in the mouth.
Some air unlocks some of the hidden tannins and some more fruit comes through.
