Popped and poured, which was a disservice to the wine. Some bottle funk which blew off in about 15 minutes. Not sure what to think of the wine. Nice flavors, a little light on acid - but something about the structure was not quite right. However, it seemed like the potential is there with some age.

Pours dark purple crimson with strong aromas of fresh candied berryfruit. Full bodied for a PN with dense, concentrated flavors. Hothouse plumbs and blackcherry figure prominant with a pinch of anise showing up in the background. The finish is long with lingering fresh hothouse darkfruit. BK needs more time to develope.

Cloudy, slightly bricky ruby in color. Fat nose of tangy cherry, cranberry, cola, white chocolate and buttery rhubarb pie. Creamy and full in the mouth. Flavors of black fruits and a pleasing earthiness. A nice minerality on the finish, which shows a little heat. A good value at $32 and a wine that will likely improve with 2-3 years in the cellar.

On the nose fruit focused and narrowly focused on the fruit. Fairly one dimensional but pleasurable.
