Big wine, big surprise for the money. Plenty of fruit and hints of mushroom combine for an interesting wine; tannins subdued, a crowd pleaser. Hope to find more.

Concentrated wine with lots of ripe (black) fruit, vanilla, cloves. Nice tannin structure, beautiful balance, lengthy finish. Crisp acidity prevents it from being cloying, but make no mistake, this is a dense heavyweight wine.

Passable but not fabulous. Falls short on the finish.

I enjoyed this again. Mushroom/wet earth on the nose, then a pleasant sweet start with a mouthful of fruit. Tremendous value.
