 Tasted by DokTore on 12/1/2020 & rated 90 points: Superb! (451 views)
 Tasted by Southern Wine Buff on 6/24/2020 & rated 85 points: Deep ruby colour. Appealing nose with gum notes. Generally good balance on the palate, but dominated by tannins and with limited fruit counterpoint, and a slightly stalky finish. Solid food fine. (415 views)
 Tasted by Teawine on 6/12/2017: As expected. Full bodied with ripe mulberries with plenty of soft ripe tannins. Hints of black pepper and also chocolate.. Almost good value if on sale. Feels like the result of high extraction from grapes that were fully ripe but from high yielding vines. (1085 views)
 Tasted by Jeffyboy on 4/30/2017 & rated 85 points: Classic colour. Dark, violet reflexes. Nose: sweet and spicy. Quite strong. Taste: medium acid which is good; dry, light tanins; some spices.
Medium finish. (1015 views)
