Garnet fading to a small meniscus. Bell pepper on the nose followed by blackberry, black plum, earth and wet leaves. On the palate, continues with bell pepper, same black fruit, leather, cocoa, and some blueberry. Tannins are medium, acid medium. Starting to taste a bit of age on it, but still has some time. Very dark wine...almost evil. ;)

Tasted at pickup party. A really good wine, but not a $250 worthy wine, thus my score a little lower. Ready to drink right now, don't see it improving much over where it is now with more time.

Beautifully made. Big upfront with ripe blueberry. Tapers off pretty quickly to an unexpected short finish. Did a 1 hour decant. Don't see how this will get better with age. Fully integrated tannins. Very smooth. Will not purchase another of these as the Fortis is a little more than half the price and at least as good to my taste buds.

. The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Fast. It smells like Black currant (cassis), Blackberry, Mineral, and Coffee. It tastes like Blackberry, Black currant (cassis), Plum, and Stoniness. The body is Full. The wine has Polished texture. The wine finishes Long.
