Aerating makes a HUGE difference. The Blackberrys burst in your mouth. Light finish slightly tannic. Very berry. Wife thinks it's too sweet — 2 years ago

Nose is soft berries and overall very feint. Slight vanilla and oak.lime berries bright crisp low tanins. The crispness lends to a medium finish and doesnt weigh your palette down. Swish leads to leather — 3 years ago

7.9

Nose: tobacco, dark berries, caramel on the tail end of the nose

Palate: medium oak, cherry, slight metallic aftertaste that builds upon opening. Not quite off putting but not inviting. Slightly above med dry. Metallic taste actually subsides the longer this oxidizes and the wine becomes more smooth. Picking up very light berries jam

Medium finish

This one needs a lot of airing before drinking.
