The wine has low acidity. It smells like blackberry, prune, vanilla, oak, honeysuckle, plum, apricot, butterscotch, raspberry, fig and cherry. The wine finishes medium. It tastes like oak, molasses, blackberry, butterscotch, stoniness, mineral and raspberry. The wine looks brick colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. The wine has fleshy texture. Drink soon if you have any left in the cellar.

One of the best I've had in a while. Was fairly tight on opening, but after an hour or so it became a remarkable wine. Great structure, body. Wish I had more.

This wine was off the hook. A blend of 12 grapes? Incredible nose - a bow of fruit. The palate was rich and complex. Amazing with ribeyes off the grill.

Hot dried fruit. Definitely showing the twilight end of the age.

Had a taste but wife and her friends drank the rest. If there approval means anything this is a keeper. Buy more.
