Decanted and continued to soften. Dark and quite opaque. Nose of forest with a hint of mint and vanilla. Full bodied and perfect pairing with grilled skirt steaks. Acid tannins and fruit all well balanced.

Rich and luscious. Blackberries, cocoa, and a hint of pepper. Fabulous bouquet and a satisfying finish.

Blue fruit and cocoa dart aiming for the bullseye center of my pallet. Smooth, long finish. Really good with French onion soup, sweet and peppery
