This is a very extracted monster of a wine. Loaded with fruit and depth. Definite new world style with big fruit but backs it up in layers of spices and fine tannins. Could easily age another couple of years but not sure if it is going to bet any better. Fantastic right now

inky; full bodied, but less than indicated by color. Some vanillin. Smooth, long finish. Drank w/ leg of lamb and gnocci. Very nice, but a little too low acid for this dish.

Fantastic fruit! Big. High alcohol content makes it spicy

Very sweet and candied but great flavor and balance if you like a ton of fruit smacking you. I loved it

A lot better than I expected... Wished there was more when bottle finished. However, don't hang onto this.. Drink it right away
