Saturday, May 4, 2013 - Deep magenta with a reticent nose of purple fruits. Surprisingly no heat.
Flavors of black cherry, boysenberry and Band-Aid. Slightly sweet. The palate is surprisingly soft and glycerin like, no doubt owing to the 15.3% ABV. Surprisingly only a hint of the alcohol comes through, and usually I am sensitive to its presence. Short finish. This is a wine that is clearly built for immediate consumption and not one to age. It offers a decent QPR but it is not something that I would seek out again.
