Community Tasting Note

• bjamesclark wrote: 87 points

  October 28, 2017 - Decanted.
  Hot on the nose at first, even with air time. Once past the heat aromas of mixed fresh picked berries, cola, spice, floral pastilles, pepper and a trace of chocolate and herbs.
  On the palate juicy acidity and big dense fruit are met with high alcohol perception. A mix of blue, black and red berry flavors come with rich cola notes, floral pastilles, pepper, light herbs and tamarind flavors. The finish lingers.
  
  Overall a little one dimensional, hot and definitely my least favorite version of this wine in a few vintages

  Fruit-Cola dominate... You need to try and search for hints anything else.
  Compared to other wines yes I would say one dimensional....
  Try for yourself and come to your own conclusion
