Colour: purple with brick red edges Nose: Vanilla, red currant, black berry fruit, pepper, lavender Palette: Vanilla, pepper, raspberry, liquorice, menthol, cocoa, sage amd other herbs, black tea, plum. Basically lots of intermingling flavours that are all good!
Very interesting and pretty complex wine. Not sublime or ethereal, but good honest interesting plonk.
The only drawback is the hot alcoholic finish.
I reckon it'll get better over the next few years as all of the above component flavours mesh together and smooth out.
Great value for money, even considering I bought it in Oz.

Having paid just $9 for these it’s a great deal. Not much depth or structure but plenty of ripeness to go along with the high alcohol. Overall decently integrated with enough herbaceous elements to provide lift. Drink now.
