Either let this bottle breath for quite a while or pair with something salty. The first night I tried this I wasn't very impressed. I wasn't eating anything at the time. Just sitting down relaxing with a glass of wine. The second night I had just finished eating something salty, but this time the wine was much smoother, and velvety in my mouth and bursting my palate with fruit. Couldnt decifer the fruit though. This was much better the second day. It is medium body, purple ink color. Very pretty!! I would recommend leaving it open to air for a couple of hours before serving it. It coates your mouth pretty good so pair it with something that can stand up to it.

Not so pleasing on the nose but very nice in the mouth. Very nice drape in the glass - good legs. Plum and a sweet fruit forward with a very full body.

Purple, inky appearance. Fruit forward with nicely balanced tannins. Mouth feel was warm and velvety. We really enjoyed this wine. Actually paired well with Blackened salmon.

A lot of fruit. A bit one-dimensional.
