The slight bottle age gives this a lovely perfume of black and blue fruit, Asian spices, and a whiff of watermelon. Plush and long, with textbook flavors and a touch of fruit sweetness. The finish echoes the Asian spice theme. Attractive.

Deep, fragrant nose showing blackberries, smoke and berry jam, big and juicy, bursts with cherry, raspberry, dried blueberries and minerals, good intensity, lush and sultry, rustic and gutsy

I like the style of this wine and thought it had a very pleasant nose, good fruit and nice balance of tannins and spice. Seemed to get a fair amount of compliments from those I shared it with, mostly upon first impression. After a few hours my wife tried and didn't like it, but those that tried it with about 30-40 mins of air seemed to have immediate good first impression.
Recommended (I'll likely pick up another couple of bottles for consumption soon.)
