It was really delicious and aged just right. Blackberry and spice on the nose came around to also play on the palate along with peppery notes and a hint of cedar. It was also impressive to see this under $10 bottle of wine was sealed with an actual cork, I'm just saying.

Very open nose, just loaded candied violets, sweet tobacco/ sleek rich mouthful, blueberry/ nice ripe tannin and good length, slightly hot/ greatly improved with bottle age. 14.5%

Appearance: Deep, dark purple. Taste: Full bodied, ok balance, lingering tannins. Short finish and lacks something to keep interest. Pairing: Is strong enough to mix with lamb, and not too overpowered to match entrées. Drink with food - alone would be a bit harsh. [3/5]

Tasted at Wines of Mexico Fest - Nice earthy nose of sweaty socks, mushrooms, burnt plum. Flavours of stewed red fruits, bitter chocolate and some smoky notes. Medium body, acidity, tannins and finish. I like this. Good.

Inky, brambly, peppery nose. Hedgerow fruit on the palate, some plum, followed by oak and herbs. Very full. Good value.
