The currant and black licorice flavors really shine through, and the finish just keeps going. It's got those firm tannins that make it perfect for a slow sip with a good steak.

That loamy earth and tobacco leaf combo really came through on the finish, and the tannins were firm but not harsh at all. Perfect with a grilled steak, and it held up beautifully over the whole evening.

Opened this with dinner last night and that loamy earth note really came through beautifully. The currant and cedar kept evolving in the glass, and even after an hour the tannins stayed firm without being harsh. Definitely glad I let it breathe.
