This is hitting it's stride! I'd put this up against many left-bank Bordeaux or Super Tuscans from the same vintage. This has a medium plus finish of red and blue fruits, dried herbs, leather and structured tannins that have this ready for a meal.

Classic Octagon - yum! It’s a medium+ bodied, structured wine that does not disappoint. The wine has notes of black cherry, licorice, tobacco, and black currant. It’s wonderful to drink on its own and even better paired with a nice meal.

Wow. Beautiful, beautiful wine. Paired beautifully with a braised beef shank. Just an awesome wine.
