Bottle open 1 hour prior to tasting. On the nose, I detect a changing bouquet with caramel, raspberries, plum, cocoa, cherry and rose petal. I sensed notes of spice, cherry, and some amount of hear. The finish dissolved from spice to cocoa over a period of time. I also tasted this with a steak + bearnaise sauce, which heavily muted the fruit flavors and brought out the tannic structure and cocoa notes.

This polished red gleams with raspberry and red plum fruit, framed with hints of coconut, clove and red pepper that linger gorgeously through the silky finish. Drink now through 2014

Polished in texture, this is balanced well to show expressive currant, blueberry and coffee flavors, lingering beautifully against refined tannins. Drink now through 2011.

Nuances of leather and tobacco fill this deep red wine. rich flavors of coffee and plums fill the palate complemented by currants and rounded tannins on the finish.

Plum blossoms and soft talc make for a pleasant nose backed up by cinnamon, date and fig flavors, appearing modestly amongst juicy ripe black cherry and boysenberry gliding into a seamless finish.
