Jul 7th, 2016Great earth and graphite pencil flavored. Smells a little like paper and under ripe plums. Nice coffee and berry/ cherry notes with medium tannin. Crazy value.

Feb 1st, 2017Ruby color, medium intensity, garnet tones on meniscus. Nose: dried fruits, savory herbs. Palate: dried figs, dried apricot, blueberry, leather. Moderate tannins, pretty tight, some tartness. Not too much in terms of finish.
