The smell is the first thing we noticed, upon tasting it is full bodied and lighter on tannins. Notes of berries. We enjoyed it with steak and rice, it didn't go as well with bread and garlic butter we had.

Not as good as I recalled, but may have been the result of not giving this a little mote time to open up. Initially tight and angular. Still nice fruit and good QPR. Agree with other notes that this needs a good 45 minute decant.

Enjoyed at a local steakhouse. One of the more reasonably priced regulars on the wine list. Still has some sharp edges and needs some time in bottle to show its best.

Just an overall crowd pleaser. Well balanced with nice acidity, good legs and will cover 95% of your dinner crowd. Very balanced that can hold up on its own or accompany a nice meaty dish. A good 60-90min decant will help it immensley.

Steak house staple. At a steak house. Very approachable with velvety cassis and blackberry flavors. Went great with top grade Waygu. 92
