Pop and poured. Fresh blackberry, plum, hint of strawberry and vanilla on the nose. Black fruits and spice on the palette. Tannin and acid are solid, but a little lacking in overall body. Definitely need to let the next bottle breath.
As time went on the wine opened up and put forward a lot more fruit.
Nice wine.

Really disappointed. Four wines - this was the only one people left behind. Frankly, its hard to find much good about this wine.
People complained about this being a fruit bomb - but I didn't find that. I found a wine that was a bit of a mess - too hot, to tight, too tannic. I can't say anything was well done with this wine.
Bottom line - not delicious.
I have three more bottles. Perhaps this one was an aberration.

Notes of lush blackberry with hints of strawberry. Wood, incense and vanilla. Very nice aroma in the glass.
Tastes of blackberry and black cherry. A little lighter than the nose indicated. A very fine peppery finish. Tight acid holds it all together.
Nice.
