The wine looks Violet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Mineral, and Black Pepper. It tastes like Oak. The body is Medium. The wine has Silky texture. The wine finishes Short.

Purple in color. Big nose of blue and black fruits with some toasted oak intertwined. Big blueberries and toasted oak caress the front and middle palate while an earthy edge dominates the long finish. Still has a lot of life left. Drink or hold a few more years.

Opened this on Thanksgiving and only drank half the bottle. It was still tight and tannic but showing more than on previous occassions. We left bottle open overnight. To my surprise, it was really singing the next day. The tannins had softened quite a bit and their was more apparent fruit.

Spoofed wine that is practically undrinkable. Obviously not the best grapes that are face lifted and made up, wine manipulation par excellente
