Dark ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, plum, spice, leather, and chocolate. On the palate, mirrors the nose. Full body, not nearly the same complexity or lengthy finish as the grand reserve, but a nice value wine. — 5 months ago

1 hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A splendid dark medium garnet with little bricking.
