Monday, October 27, 2014 - Upon opening the bottle, a very fragrant aroma of vivid dark cherries and rich chocolate scents fills my senses. The nose reminds me of a well-made rich Blackforest cake. In the glass, the wine is deep Tyrian purple colour. On the palate, the juicy dark cherry character dominates, while the dark chocolate nuances are much less obvious. There is a nice medium body that provides some weight and lift. Although there might be some slight earthiness on the palate, tarty cherry acidity emerges and takes over the palate. Vivid acidity and chewier tannins carry the wine to the finish.
