Nose - Powerful with all the notes of black fruit and berries, forest and slight smoky edges. Palate - Full body, very smooth, lots of black fruit, slight smoke. Paired with Margarita pizza tonight, it was wonderful!

Good looking in the glass, very dark violet, not a lot of color change toward the rim. Nose is lush with deep dark mixed berry notes and a hint of brown sugar at the end. Drinking this and I feel this is right in its prime, very balanced with full dark fruit, slight green pepper, leading to a drying finish. I paired this with a grilled steak and it was fantastic. Probably will last for a couple more years but drinking wonderfully now.

More oak on the nose than I like along with some dark fruits. Medium plus bodied, with dark fruits and a bit of spice on the palate. Some drying tannins. 88 points.

Quite solid, concentrated red fruit, balance more on the side of acidity. Still a bit compact for its age and will benefit from a bit more time. Excellent value. 91++pts.

Nice, dusty integrated tannin, not over-bearing. Had a bit left night 3 and it had held up although much lighter in presentation and and no add’l layers. Solid option at this price point and would get again.
