I like this wine! Great nose of plum, black licorice and grilled meat. + viscosity that coats the mouth with powerful overripe blackberry. This wine delivers a nice punch of flavor to the palate. Not a tannic wine just full of flavor. It likely gets better with more time in the bottle.

Strikingly purple in the glass. Nose was a reflection of the palate but more subdued. It has Juicy black fruits, dark plums, some blackberry and a dollup of delicious dark chocolate. On the whole quite enjoyable and worthwhile. Just two aspects dragging it back to a sub 90 score. 1/ A touch of hotness from the alcohol. 2/ Not much length of palate on the finish...it's just there, but makes a hasty departure, finishing slightly thin, with a hint of bitter chocolate. QPR: Very good.

Over delivers for the price! Dark ripe cherries, wood, smoke and chocolate.
