The nose on this is amazing. Purple in colour and medium bodied. Good mouth feel. The finish had a tinge of bitterness, but I think this is due to the trouble I had opening the bottle....I had to push the cork in, and then I held the cork in while puring with a utenzil that my wife later informed me was an onion holder...not the best decission. I had this earlier last year and don't recall any aftertaste similiar.

Good and tasty. Bright tannins without being overly drying. Nose of tobacco, blackberries and bramble. Would imagine that this will smoothe out with some time in the cellar. Would purchase again.

Purple in color. Beautiful, expressive nose of pure fruit. Light to medium bodied. Straight forward and simple on the palate, but very tasty.

Multi-faceted nose - not quite as complex in the mouth. Soft but present tannins. Short finish.

Nice fruit; however fairly one dimensional
