Wow, what a gorgeous wine! Incredible dark violet color, with a lovely nose of black currants & blackberries and a hint of oak; rich & velvety on the tongue, yet not heavy or cloying. A long, lovely finish, kept calling me back for more. An outstanding value at under $30! This was my only bottle and I wish I had more.

Very powerful wine. Deep purple and dark fruit flavors. Needed to open up as quite "hot" upon first opening. After an hour it was drinking beautifully with a long finish. Probably could have had another 5 years in the bottle.

15.5% ABV. This starts of with aromas of blueberry liqueur, cassis, vanilla, roasted herbs and hints of shoe polish. Downright massive in the mouth, but quite refined at the same time, with loads of liqueur-like fruit along with some herbal and earthy undertones. Finishes long and gently tannic, but with serious alcoholic burn.

Heavy duty. The wine is still drinking quite young and is very dense. Flavors of black berry, vanilla, and oak dominate palate and nose. Massive tannins and body. Still very primary, I don't see this wine going anywhere for a good while. Hold.

Good bottle but not amazing. Probably needed more time to open up. Will decant for an hour next time.
