Dark purple with a pitch black core. Extremely inviting aromas, albeit slightly tight, of cherry, dark wood, clove and licorice. On the palate, basalmic takes the lead followed by pepper and slate. Soft feel in the beginning followed by firm structured finish. Nice. Neither the tannin nor the acidity take over allowing the wine to evolve as it settles in your mouth. 3.5 / 5

Deep marronish color, very clear. Chocolatey nose with some pepper, clove, cinnamon, and deep red fruits. The nose really is earthy with a loamy feel to it, unwilling to give up it's information right away. Soft in the mouth this wine shows a fine tannin structure that has a medium acidty and ripe fruit. Flavors of mineral, and dark spices, mix with a blackcherry fruit profile. Fun wine. 3.5/5

Deep ruby color. Nose of chocolate and roses. Dark fruit and peppermint. Good structure.
