Deep dark, black fruits on the nose w. pepper and spices. Dry, med(+) acidity, med+ tannins, med(+) body, peaches, plums, ripe black fruits, vanilla ice cream, some eucalyptus. Very good structure to keep things balanced. Good length finish.

Dashe Cellars Todd Bros. never fails to impress me. Juicy blackberry flavor with enough structure to balance the fruit. A big wine, but not overly extracted. Layers of flavor and complexity. Could last another 5 years but delicious now. Glad I have more!

Don’t really remember much about this besides that it had a nice chocolate presence, and I thought it needed 5 years. Drank in Bulgaria with a really special host’s mother for her birthday. It was a good celebration wine.

This is a bold wine but lacks complexity. Nose of blackcurrant and toast. Dark fruits on the palate. Rather sweet. Monotonous, boring but probably good enough for the price as it wasn't unpleasant either.
