Decanted 2 hours - first sip is superb but not mind blowing - was hopeful - just not going to be ever that wine but will be pleasant and produce smiles
Just wanted so bad to say big bold and beautiful - oh well - you can't get blood from a turnip - so the rest of the story
Deep garnet color. Clean. Nose of blackberries and dark currant fruits. Dry, full bodied. med+ acidity but tannins are not in sync thus missing the wow factor. Flavors of chocolate, cedar, cherries and pruney.
An interesting but long finish. My last one. I will not buy again as this wine really never excited me - still got to smile and in my world that matters.
