No after taste, medium depth. (3961 views) | | | Tasted by WaltnMicki on 10/20/2014 & rated 88 points: Even better the second time around. Opens up nicely and does have the chocolate overtones. Nice garnet color. Slight spicy bite went away after letting it breathe for 30 minutes. (3876 views) | | | Tasted by WaltnMicki on 8/16/2014 & rated 87 points: Nice complexities blending a slight sweet with a bit of tartness and a mild bite. Medium body with crisp red color and cherry nose. Nicely complimented fillet mignon.

Palate was a bit of a let down after the nose. Nice soft texture but fruit a bit lacklustre, acidity sticks out. Not bad but just not great, might be better in 12 months but will not go out of my way to find out.

In the palate, I picked up tartness at the front that faded to sweetness. Under-ripe cherries and berries along with some forest floor and leaves also feature on the palate. Noteworthy tannins and a tiny bit of chocolate at the end.
This bottle could also stand to sit on the rack for a little while longer, but the grapes don't seem to be of super-high quality. They show relatively well here; I don't think this bottle has a long shelf life. (5801 views) |
