  Inky black with a ruby edge. Blueberry, spice, and cedar nose. Medium bodied, sage, black cherries, baking spice, blackberries, silky tannins, dark chocolate, chalk dust, and a long dry finish. Excellent and worth the wait.

  ABV 14.2; Soft but just ripe fruit, tannins mostly gone; some cedar and heat on the finish; not enjoyable on its own but works well with a cheesy deep dish pizza

  Color - Dark ruby with a light orange tinge along edge
  Nose - Cherry, dark berries
  Palate - Lighter, tannins are soft and short lived, Not a lot of fruit, does not live up to nose, dusty and maybe cigar box. A very dry wine. Not my preference in style.

  3 more years in the cellar helped this wine gain some complexity, but not quite a 90. Nice bottle though!
