The lowdown
- To look at: Deep, dark ruby with quite an amount of sediment – what looks like big bits of grape skin.
- Night 1: Smells and tastes of leather, black cherry
- Night 2: Leather has mellowed out, more vanilla with black cherry and blackcurrant
- Overall: really delicious, highly recommended

If this helps, that helps me aswell. Thanks alot.
It has been my great pleasure, for the past 32 years, to create a collection of wine labels from my home in northern California. It would be with great pleasure to be able to include your labels in my collection. Thank you very much for your consideration.
