Was not a fan of this wine the last time I had it, lots of oak and tannins. This time oak and tannins are much better to create a juicy wine. Raspberry, perfume, oak, vanilla, and game round out the aromas. Silky tannins to go with the cherry, oak, vanilla, blackberry, cocoa, and white pepper. Dry finish that makes for a good food wine. - Tasted Sept 2023
