Agresssive fruit, soft but full tannins, a little hot out of the bottle. Did not pair well with chicken burritos.

Delicious. Blackberries, maybe cassis, deep layers of flavor from the oled vines used. some cedar notes and a Bite of black pepper then beautiful tannins.

Lovely! Fruity start, nice solid structure, although it did take at least 30min to open up in the glass.

Dark berry aromas mixed with a phenolic smell that blows off with a few minutes in the glass. The palate seems over-extracted with a coarse finish. The wine softens up with time in the glass.
