A middleweight style with welcome elegance, offering flavors of black cherry, strawberry and pomegranate with noticeable smoky oak in the background, Nicely balanced with a pleasurable and extended finish. This wine grows on you the more you sample it, and was even better when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 93. Reviewed November 12, 2017
