| | Tasted by ewisor on 12/11/2013 & rated 84 points: Consistent with my previous note. Also as others have noted, this one needs an hour or so to burn off an initial sulfur smell and start to start to show itself. (4948 views) |

| | Tasted by wintergreen on 10/16/2013 & rated 87 points: needed a couple hours to show the goods
nose: brambly raspberry, sugarcane, but mostly a ton of penetrating spice
palate: bright cherries/red fruit. theres a bit of sweetness but my mouth is getting acid-raped. kinda light in body. decent rough tannins. good medium finish of oak and almost overwhelming spiciness.
very aggresive. i dont really like this style but theres nothing wrong with it. maybe in a couple years it'll soften enough. (3299 views) |

| | Tasted by ProfPaul on 6/6/2013: An impressive not-expensive wine ($10). Medium to full body, fruit forward with blackberry predominating along with raspberry but balanced with pepper and spice, plus some licorice at the back end. Lingering finish – longer than expected at this price point. I’ll be getting more of this one! (2407 views) |
