A: deep ruby, just a touch of fade at the rim N: crushed violet, vanilla, black pepper, red and black plum, black berry, black cherry P: dry, 14% ABV, med (+) soft, velvety tannins, high acidity, full body C: outstanding = balanced fruit and acidity/tannins, med (+) intensity, pronounced concentration, med (+) complexity, long finish on fresh black fruit. While soft with lovely mouthfeel the wine has a freshness that is unexpected, really lively in the mouth and so easy drinking. Drink now or over coming 10 years.

Meh...group of friends joined me to drink Magnum of Delas Tourettes. Everyone thought the price point was way to high ($160.00) Why does the wine bottle say 2015 but the cork says 2017? Very disappointing.

See previous notes. Pepper, violets and minerality. Beautiful. Better with food.

Drinking beautifully right out of the gate but improves with a couple hours of air. Nicely evolving with only a tease of tertiary aromas and flavors.
