Incredible dark rich maroon mimicked in its aroma showing dark cherry and blackberry on the nose with hints of black pepper, black wet dirt and rich dark chocolate. The theme here is dark! The mouth didn't fail to represent the exact same bold richness with round lush flavors of chocolate, black cherry and a slight peppery spice that could have easily passed for either black pepper or even a mild smoked chipotle. I felt as if I should sip this in a slinky red dress with high heels and a long elegant cigarette holder in an old 1920's jazz bar. Incredibly sexy and elegant. 4.0

Nice rich color. The nose is pure chocolate and with time shows layered fruit(cassis, black cherry), followed by black pepper and earth. Really a great nose. Lush in the mouth, soft with a firm tannin that is un-obtrusive, and a medium acidity. Rich cherry, chocolate, earth, pepper, and light tobacco notes in the mouth. Elegant and very enjoyable. Really a wine I would buy again and again. 3.5/5
