Deep purple color. Very high (15.4%) alcohol is noticeable on the nose. Mediocre on the first day, perhaps needed decanting. Somewhat sweet, big mouthfeel, simple finish with mild tannin.
2nd day is better, still not fantastic. A little more complexity and balance. No strongly discernable fruit flavors, maybe dark berry like a raspberry? Ok, but not worthy of the grand reserve emblem of cost. Curious what other people think!

No need to run out and purchase more, but a good, daily drinker. A tad high in alcohol at over 15%, as a result a bit jammy
