Deep red. Dark cherry, licorice, dried flowers and smoky oak on the nose, with subtle floral nuances emerging with aeration. Supple and round but a bit backward today, offering firm, slightly dry dark berry flavors and a hint of cracked pepper. The floral note repeats on the ripe, punchy finish. This big boy needs a little bottle age.

Much better

This was my review from 1/13/12: "Opened a bottle two weeks after case arrived. Harsh, harsh, undrinkable. Will wait 6 months to open others and report back." Opened a bottle March 20, 2012 --- now over two months since it arrived. Much better. Needed a few minutes to open in teh glass. Smooth, pleasant. Would rate 3.5. Good value.
Keep this a few years

This is quite "green" at this point. Keep it for 3 years or so - it should be a special bottle of wine at that point.

Good forward fruit with strong mineral body and smooth tanic finish.
