October 5, 2016 - Thick syrup. You could cut it with a knife. Sickly sweet.
Lacks acidity and any sense of freshness. Not my thing.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 28, 2013 - Pine sap, menthol, prunes, caramel and coffee.
Good concentration, touch of sweetness. Spicy finish.
Soft tannins
Not sure it gets better from here -

March 31, 2013 - Very nicely balanced wine. Restrained, but delicious fruit. Nice earthy tones. Drank like a Rhone.
