Typical Mark Ryazan wine - big and bold, tannic, deep dark fruit. Could use more aging but a very nice wine.

A solid showing and one of my favorites from Mark Ryan. Opened and it needed about an hour in the decanter. Ripe red fruit with hints of black currant, vanilla and oak imparted spices. The palate was quite resolved and balanced with juicy red & black fruits, some pencil shavings and light oak flavors, very nice and very food friendly.

Lingering finish. Drinks well at present with decanting …

Decanted for 45 minutes and enjoyed over a nice steak dinner. Wow this is a big and powerful wine. Full bodied, with lots of dark ripe fruit and almost smokey oak notes. Lovely, elegant tannins that grip the tongue. Very high alcohol (15.2%) gives it some heat on the finish. Paired very well with our meal: rib eye, burger, potatoes, mac n cheese. Experienced a little palate fatigue towards the end of dinner (post food), wished I had poured back …
