  Great for $10. Should improve modestly with time, in particular any alcohol taste.

  11/28/2016 - penguinoid Likes this wine:

  Colour: dark cherry
  Nose: cassis, juniper berry, menthol/eucalypt leaf, cedary oak, sweet spice.
  Palate: cassis, black plum, juniper berry. Lots of black fruit. Cedary oak, sweet spice. Small amount of smooth tannins, berry like acidity. Rich, full bodied, 14% alcohol. Nice, but a bit simple.
  * After being open overnight, the wine had improved, with more notable Cabernet characters of juniper berry, cassis, and nightshade leaf. It seemed to have become more unctuous/glycerolic in mouthfeel too.
