Deep, youthful purple. Deep, brooding, plummy nose with ripe blackberries, a hint of eucalyptus and some fresh sawn timber. Rich attack with sweet black fruit. Full, creamy palate with lots of ripe black fruit and a big structure. Lots of mouth-tingling woody spice on the finish with good tannins. Fair length with drying tannins coating the mouth.

Weekly tasting group #149; Simply Red (A mixed set) (@ CvR): Bouquet with bell pepper, cinnamon and eucalyptus. On the palate a lot of sweet ripe dark fruits, vanilla, sweet licorice, laurel and eucalyptus again. Great concentration and a good length. Very new world style.

Well, as the 2010 this is a great value and tasty vino that will do well over next 3-5 years. Nice nose of dark blackberry fruit/plums/light wood. Palate is med+ bodied, a hair creamy - with a smokey quality in background of that dark fruit and pomegranate? Nice with food and good QPR. Buy.

I like this wine a lot. Nice light Bordeaux style nose, with lots of ripe red and blue fruit and smooth drinkable palate. Delicious.
