Dark ruby moving to garnet. An intense nose of dark fruits, blackberry, earth and spice. Dry with plentiful smooth tannins. A medium weight mid-palate adds more fruit, sour cherry, oak and more earth. Medium plus acid. Decent finish. Nice. March 2011.

Medium minus intensity of garnet to ruby in colour with medium intensity in the nose. The nose shows light oak, sour cherry, mushroom, figs, expresso & light carnations. The taste is dry, medium+ tannins & acidity with medium length. The taste shows as nose with addition of cranberry, blueberry & blackberry. This wine needs food such as lasagna, but it worked well with beef tenderloin. Drink now. Tasted: 31 Aug 11

Score: 8.5/10, Value: 7/10, Score: 16.5/20.
