June 24, 2023 - Powerful and dark plum and blackberry on the nose. Again very powerful on the palate with spicy blackberry jam, burning alcohol yet smooth soft and long. Sweet and spicy finish. A bit overpowering.

August 19, 2017 - Dark currant on nose, luscious full bodied fruit. PNP, smooth tannins, nice long finish. Has more time, but good now

om42 Does not like this wine:
May 19, 2017 - Possibly we held onto this for too long? Very one dimensional - huge coconut, fruit and heat - add rum and you may have an interesting drink.

August 22, 2016 - I know this used to be my style of wine but not really anymore. Its very flavorful and full but the 15.9% alcohol is overwhelming.
