Light cheery red. Moderate aromas of tobacco, leather, grapefruit, and dark fruit. The wine was hot, with dominating flavor of leather and mild complements of dark fruit and vanilla revealing itself on the finish. The wine is acidic and grabs your taste buds from the moment it enters your mouth. It did mellow a bit after a day, but nothing subtle about this wine.

A light red color. Tasted this wine the next day from when it was opened. A really nice bouquet of raspberry and cherry plus mushroom and earth. The flavors were more of the same, raspberry and cherry with a nice sweet tobacco flavor. The berry flavors last medium long (8 out of 10) for a really nice finish making me want more.

This was a bit acidic, light-bodied. Didn't grab me much.

Accompanied BBQ tritip and the flavors were wonderful with big on the mouth and a long finsh. Darn it is my last bottle.
