Hint of green bell pepper aroma, though very faint, so not unpleasant. Mainly aromas of fresh red fruits with hint of spice. Heavy vanilla notes with smoke and roasted red fruit. Very nice, not perfect but quite tasty.

A little mold on top of cork, but cork intact. Brick red in color. Funky, musty fruit aromas - not bad, just funky. A bit of funk in the flavors too, though very fruit-forward with nice spice and hint of oak and vanilla in the finish. Nicely balanced, well aged - should be great with steak. Drink up!

A bit bitey but still good. Oak is shining through, still in balance but probably want to drink up!
