Very faint aroma of stone fruit…
Let the wine breath a bit first…drinks pretty easily.
However, not a lot of flavor and finish with a bit of spice and alcohol on the palate. — 8 months ago
Subtle scent of oak and vanilla….

Has a semi-strong fragrance of earth and spice.
Is a bit flavor forward that hits right off the bat, with earthy flavors of leather, spice and oak. However, those flavors subside quickly, and it finishes semi-smoothly with lingering spice and oak notes.
May need so time to breathe… — a year ago

Has a medium strong fragrance of earthiness, stone fruit and spice.
Drinks relatively smoothly with strong notes of various spices, oak, and a little jam.
Finishes a little rough on the palate…maybe needs time to breathe?!
Once it does open up more, you’ll get more jam flavors and it becomes more smooth… — 10 months ago
Has a faint and light fragrance of stone fruit and earthiness.
Drinks fairly well to start, and is a bit tangy with mineral notes on the front of the palate, with flavors of spice, pepper and plum.
