| | Tasted by Emit Dooga on 2/26/2010 & rated 89 points: Decanted one hour. Dark ruby putple color. The aromas jump out of the glass before your nose even approach the glass, blackberry, dark fruits and eucalyptus. Mid palate of blueberry, raspberry, vanilla. Finish moderate but not as long as other notes here. Tremendous value. Great TGIF wine. I wish I had more. (210 views) |

| | Tasted by Grillgod on 11/23/2009 & rated 91 points: Dark red & black color. Dusty/Sawdust nose at first. Alcohol hot on the palate at first. Eventually opened up to extremely rich with a touch of licorice on the finish. Mostly red fruit with strawberries & cranberries primarily. Almost a pinot noir type of fruit profile. Not very intense or sweet fruit but big/smooth tannins with just the right amount of oak makes this a really delicious, well balanced wine. A bit surprised as the first bottle was no where near this good, but perhaps it's hitting it's stride now as it was early in the year I first tried this wine. (592 views) |
