July 15, 2014 - This 375ml bottle was popped and poured at home. The wine was clear and mid deep garnet in colour. The wine had a nose of dark berries and quite a bit of chocolate on the nose. In the glass were those same flavours but some overripe cherries as well. Although the acidity was quite light, the tannins were very strong and almost overbearing and this made the wine only acceptable.
