  This is absolutely not a style of wine that I like, but I enjoyed this bottle more than I might have expected. It is neither particularly sweet nor heavy, it has a lively acidity, and an alluring hazelnutty flavor.

  Hour and a half decant, this has a deep blackberry nose with some oak apparent as well which leads into a voluptuous palate of dark fruit with fine grained tannins and well defined acidity. A big mouthfeel and long finish make this a very well made bottle with a wonderful QPR.

  Enjoy this. Had with pasta, sausage and vodka sauce. Blackberry, some oak and an earthy depth. Glad I tried.

  Amplified aromas of cherries, leather, sweet spices. Voluptuous fruit on the palate with cheerful acids, perhaps a bit perfunctory at the back with a short finish. A pure and simple delight that invites food. 50 + 17 + 15 + 8 = 90
