Opened over the afternoon for evening dinner. We all drank it down. Lost a little on the nose upon opening but the mouth feel and berry, mint, graphite tabbaco and old raisin flavors. Long lingering and flavorful and great with food.

This was a gift from my brother in law. Popped and poured at Melograno in Philly. This has held up pretty well and shows some secondary flavors, resolved tannins and nice acidity which helped the wine show well with the food.

Surprisingly little oak on the nose with moderate fruit. Again, a surprise as it coursed over the tongue since it had a delicious flavor of ripe fruit, mainly cherries and raspberries. Tannin was moderate and late in the taste. Finish was moderately long with minimal tannin but a wonderful sweet fruit.

Very enjoyable. Has lost some of its tannins but still has a bit left.
