Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark fruits, soft spice and sweet floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry with notes of cacao, vanilla and dried herbs. Fine rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, espresso and earthy mineral notes. Nice value!

Super smooth and balanced, one dimensional, but solid. In its prime now. Not a showstopper, but definitely dependable.

I have had this bottle for a while now... 2012 was a long time ago...

It’s ready. It’s likely the best this wine will get.

Smooth criminal.

Intense aroma, great wine. Dark fruit, very tannic. I enjoy this

Heavily oaked, no doubt, Vanilla extract and eucalyptus. Some of that sweaty sock Grenache but not so putrid. Wet dog???? Muddled fruit.

Almost impossible to label the correct bottling - I surrender!
Enjoyable. Manufactured. Open/knit. Over-oaked. Vanillin r us. But then, I’m easy to please.
