Similar notes to SABRAGE. I get the cedar on the nose, no fruit. Dark cranberry and graphite on the pallet. Medium body with a fast slightly dry and spicy finish. Hard to score since it is so different to what I have been drinking lately, good overall. (decanted for 2 hours)

PnP. Deep Ruby/Purple color. Fast legs. Smells of Cedar and Cassis. Tastes of Blackberry with some Cherry and Cedar. Nice balance. A tad jammy. Soft texture. Medium finish. Good table wine. OK QPR, but still a few dollars high. 14.6% ABV.

One dimensional (suprising with the six varietal blend)... no critical flaw, but nothing noteworthy, either. Fruit was not very expressive on the nose or palate. Some tannins that could be better integrated (OK... maybe a little spoiled by a fine cab the night before...). OK, considering a $14 price.

Good table wine. Well-balanced. Not a lot of alcohol or tannins. A little bitterness. Cherries, maybe.
