  Maybe late to the party on this one, which I purchased several years ago. This has nice dark fruits in the nose. Immediate impression in the mouth is very high acid, almost balanced out by the fruit. Decided to leave this in the decanter for a few hours. Seemed less acidic when tasted later. Nice red fruits, but one-dimensional in the mouth. I was expecting more for a $40 bottle.

  Plum and dark fruit nose. Smooth start, sharp red fruit, deep flavour, medium length. Very enjoyable.

  Floral red current nose. Smooth, full, bright red fruit, tangy, long grippy tannins. Fully developed wine drinking fantastically well.

  Opaque garnet red with a slight purple on the rim. Still developing with medium+ intensity, dark chocolate, violet, black fruit (black berry), some mesquite, Christmas cake/molasses characters. Dry with high acidity, high, very smooth tannins that are just a tad ripe. Full bodied with medium development. Black cherry, loads of black pepper, tea leaf, blueberry and a hint of licorice. Medium finish carried by the high alcohol. Very good, if excellent wine. However, it’s a tad tart and in my opinion still a bit young – 2 more years? Definitely a wine for some smoked meat off the BBQ!
