Very smooth mouthfeel with polished tannins. Smoke, vanilla and plum on the nose. Black pepper follows through on the palate. Chocolate aftertaste. A new favourite.

I really wanted to go the extra point but my pairing was a bit biased so I deducted a point. I paired it with dark chocolate and brownies for an evening of quaffing. How could you possibly go wrong. The red fruit was pronounced with delightful warmth on the mid-palate as well as for the finish. Rikki was delighted and liked the pepper notes. She didn't partake in my decadent chocolate pairing. The wine is big, just over 15% ABV but it is well controlled and balanced.

This wine tastes like the forest at night when the ents are walking.

Had heard good things about this and it didn't disappoint. Excellent chocolatey depth and length. Top QPR for £12.50 from TWS.

Full on and plush, with spicy aromas and bags of dark berry fruits, mocha, spice and a long cherry cream finish.

Could wait a year for improvement. The peppery aftertaste is always intriguing; taste is good but not quite full.
