Too young now; allow some decanting time before really digging into this wine. Red fruit on the nose with bits of earthiness, but very slight. Strawberries followed by dark chocolate on the palate. A good wine, but I think the structure is there for this to improve over the next 5 years. |

This wine was new to me. I was unfamiliar with the varietals in the blend for the most part. Though they were on the label, the nature of the meal was such that I could not take the time to peruse. However, immediately the nose signaled that this was to be a special blend. With ripe fruits wafting from the glass, the wine was delicious, balanced, fruit-forward with figs, raisins predominating on the palate. The finish was modest lasting about 10-20 sec with no rough edges. It was excellent out of the bottle and predictably improved over the next hour and 1/2. It paired well with beet salad, the seafood dish of clams and mussels and the cheese course at the end. Will look forward to another..... |

Left this wine out for a day because at first crack of the bottle it was all grape and tannin. Really interesting nose of Sharpe marker (dissipates quickly), grape, coffee, chocolate, cola nut, hazelnut, and vanilla. The palate is still huge after a day out of the bottle. Heavy but mostly balanced, this wine will be good in a few years! |
