12/22/2015 - Jwd12 wrote: 88 pointsDark garnet opaque not much nose perhaps some spice and red fruit. Tasting was a little weird, almost a bite on the tip of the tongue but smooth mid palate and beyond. Definite red cherry and mild spice. Did not decant think I will give it an hour in the glass before finishing this review. An hour later the curious bite on the tip of my tongue disappeared. Weird. Don't have any more, and I don't feel too bad |
