Blackberry, cassis and cream. Sweet, voluptuous fruit and very soft, plush tannins. Well above its station as an everyday wine.

Apr 8th, 2018Nose - really fragrant. Plum, currant, french oak, violet.
Palate - medium body, low-med acidity. Plum and currant. Finish is reasonably long, but subtle. On day 1, it seemed thin on the mid palate, but opened up nicely on days 2-3. Definitely benefits from decanting. Overall a very balanced, above average everyday wine.

May 12th, 2017Eh. Plenty fleshy, but seems to lack some acidity, wet stone or even fruity aromas. Maybe this will come with time...
