Rutherdord Dust, classic. Still expressing fruit and bittersweet chocolate

Nice firm tannins, with loads of black cherry, this red is very drinkable and has held up well. You'll enjoy this wine!

Aged fantastically! Nice dried dark cherry, gets better as it opens up.

What friend Chris from San Jose came over tonight to share a wonderful wine with the Chicago pizza. I had no idea this was going to be the focus of the meal! Very very solid red with multi layers

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! Intensely tannic at first but once decanted, it opened beautifully. Violets, tobacco, cacao & tart cherries. Really excellent.
