The oak fragrance is mature. Good, calm wine that holds its own. I like drys and this leans that way. Tannins are there but fall in behind the fruit and complete the finish.

V12. Very good! Fragrant cedar & herb nose with a hint of bacon. Black currant fruit. Dry, tight, leather and black pepper finish. Nice weight and balance. Good food wine.

Sep 5th, 2016Starts with sweeter berry fruit. Mushrooms and bell pepper maybe caramelized eggplant (grilled). Very smoky finish with orange zest and a hint of cinnamon .

Sep 3rd, 2016Nice out of the bottle but It should have gone through a decanter first.

Apr 11th, 2016Nice deep violet color.
Nose with leather and dark fruits
Palate: medium body, high and heavy on the acidity and long tannins. Pretty unidimensional with straight forward concentrated plum with a wintergreen finish.
Acidity a little stinging at points, not to my taste as I felt like it lacked depth.
13.5 ABV
