Delightful, new-style Bordeaux. Tons of fruit, a touch of green pepper, spicy. Very smooth tannins.

@KermitLynchWine in Bordeaux? Lush, broad, fruity. Why did they change the label?

Very delightful! Nice structure and tannins, full body with nice mineral character.

Soft. Lovely nose. Less structured than I'd prefer but perfect with beef stew.

Intense ruby to garner; intense aroma of red and black fruits, some vegetal notes, a little vanilla and oak; dry, med acidity, smooth med tannins, med+ body, med finish. Complex aromas but tannins still strong, could improve with aging.
