This wine's pallet consists of black cherries, leather, tar, and a hint of smoke. Explosive tannins make for a dramatic mouthfeel. Make sure to chill for best experience.

Leathery nose and a little tarragon on the backend. Very good now and probably a scorcher in 3 yrs

Initial notes of earthy blue cheese that morphed into dark cherry as it opened up. Drank alongside balada and grilled vegetables.
