Color: watery violet; Nose: boiled strawberries and moist tobacco; Taste: watery, no tannins, quite short and overripe, some spice and tobacco. Well, my first wine from Cuba, might also be the last.

Lots of minty eucalyptus, actually a little too much, think "After Eight", black currants, spicy herbs; quite tannic, dark berries, some oak and liquorice. A food wine.

This bottle had not survived 13 years in a too hot and dry closet, therefore not rated. Under a veil of wet cellar scent there was some coffe, leather, barnyard and cedarwood. Spicy, with a grassy diminished Bordeaux-taste, unfortunately also some used tea-bags. What a pity...

Buttery, oaky but still fresh Cabernet scent; minty, tannic, coffee, dark berries, a bit of alcohol shines through. Long, but a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Not really worth its price.

A superb leafy warm cassis fragrance, complex with lots of chocolate, coffee and spice. Extremely tannic, full, rich young bordeaux taste with warm red berries and tobacco. Everlasting grand aftertaste. Very good with a lamb steak today, but is still too young and will most likely get even better with some age.

Oaky vanilla, caramel, strawberry icecream, and some good old-fashioned tawny scents. This wine tastes lika a sweet barrel aged Shiraz, which is exactly what it is. Very tasty (but only when chilled, gets flabby when it gets warmer) and should go down well with your relatives visiting for Christmas.
