Finally settled down. Some tannins left. Cigar box. Chocolate. Not getting much fruit left.

PnP. Dark red color with purple tints. Cardamom, cedar, and baking spices on the nose. Same on the palate with some cherries. Decent tannins and alcohol present on the finish. Medium depth. Hot finish.

Jun 12th, 202230+ minute decant and needs more. Dark red color. Dark fruit - blackberries, dark cherries - with a lovely texture. Medium minus depth. Thinned out a bit towards the end. Nice blend.

Mar 25th, 20221hr+ decant. Dark red, almost purple color. I wavered across the spectrum on this from 92 to 95. Strengths = Bordeaux like nose with cherries and cedar, silky texture, refined flavor on the palate. Opportunities = medium minus depth, very short finish, was expecting more fruit. 92.5 and rounding up. Torn on if it needs more or less air.

Jan 16th, 2022Probably wasn’t fair to follow a Neal Cab. Totally different wine. PnP’d. Smooth and fruit forward. Cherry and cranberry on the palate. Decent bottle, but not my style.

Nov 23rd, 2019Solid wine. Heavy influence of Malbec and Merlot. Easy drinking with decent blue and red fruit. Needs a little air and probably only has a few years left in it. Paired well with spicy sausages.

Exellent Bordeaux blend with a nice clean buzz. Spicy pepper charcoal and plumb notes delight the senses and the unique flavors have an enjoyable long draw.

May 21st, 2016Quite lovely!! Everything about this wine is solid from the nose, to its structure, to the finish, and most of all the price!! One of the easiest and softest wines I've had in a while.
