Blackberry, black cherry, cedar, baking spices, cinnamon aromas. On the palate its green bell pepper, olives, sage, a touch of mushrooms, mainly earthy notes, and a sprikle of raspberries. Smooth, velvety. Dark chocolate is now showing up. You can tell the time lapse, fruit becoming earthy.

:45 decant. Showing more like a bordeaux - a bit more on the lighter side than expected. One of those bottles you don't know what to expect and are pleasantly surprised.

This wine needs to sit for at least 5 more years. It bellows oak when uncorked right now along with too much fruit. Don't get me wrong, its a good wine to sip on, but today will pale in comparison if you wait another 5-8 years.

A gorgeous blend that is reminiscent of Bordeauxs. Beautifully balanced, yet intense, fruit flavors with hints of tar/tobacco make this a hearty red. Allow to age - worth the wait.
