Dark and dense on the nose with an earthy core and leathery edges. This is fairly closed, showing off expensive French oak and pencil lead over black currant and brambly aromas. Big and powerful on entry, this is tight and filled with austere tannins. ...

Unbalanced. Disappointing. Overly bright up front and sour on the finish. Weak effort. Save your $20. Or $15 if it's on sale. Next. Read More
