  Ripe and rich in the nose. Full bodied a bit warm but very well integrated tannins and excellent length.

  This was a fantastic wine. We drank this with home made hamburgers on the grill and it was fantastic. The wine pours a very dark almost purple color. No real signs of age on the rim. The nose is very pleasant with lots of dark fruit, still felt very primary on the nose. It did have a bit of alcohol bite on the nose that took away a bit from the experience. The palate was medium to full bodied, lots of dark fruit on the palate, long good finish. The only downside on was the bite on the palate from the alcohol. Overall a really enjoyable wine - probably in its prime drinking window.

  Well worth waiting for. Dark inky black appearance with deep purple rim. Rich dark fruits with smooth tanins. Velvety mouth feel, medium long finish.
