  Day 1: Not on the level with the 16 and even at the $40 price tag not delivering. Mild wood, blueberries, earth, tobacco and floral notes. Medium finish.
  Day 2: This has gotten better and showing similar to the epic 16. Nice acidity and features wood, blueberries, tobacco, cherry, minerals, rose petals and earth. Bordeaux like. 93 points
  Day 2.5: This is even better with a true Bordeaux feel. Pencil, lead, wood, tobacco, blueberries, cherry, minerals, gravel and dried flowers. Medium plus finish and amazing showing. Great value for $40.00. 94 points
  Day 3: Wonderful and this has a long life ahead. Cherry, saddle wood, pencil lead, tobacco, gravel, red currants and spices. Medium plus finish. Outstanding value 94+ points
  Recommendation: Not many better for $40 that off this Bordeaux like quality.

  Cherry red color. Blueberry pie and oak on nose.
  The wine is very flavorful with notes of blueberry, anise, dark chocolate, and toasty oak (which is distinctive of the French oak) that unfold in layers. All of the flavors are smoothed out by a hint of vanilla. Delicious!

  Second time having this, and I still really enjoy it.
  
  Lots of black fruit (plum, blackberry) cocoa, and some oak.
  
  Nose is a lot of cherry and cocoa.
  
  Tons of sediment, but easily filtered.
  
  Really delicious.
