I served this in a Sunday family gathering. Everyone enjoyed the wine except for me. Dark ruby color with sharp, angular flavors of red berries, black tea, smoke, vanilla and a hint of eucalyptus. Somehow, the mid-palate was hollow and didn't carry enough body and balance to achieve excellence. Still, it's a crowd-pleaser and exotic. Good value wine. Drink now until 2016.
