July 20, 2016 - Dark berry colours, aromas, and palate. Smooth tannins and ripe flavours. Short finish and little complexity after the initial fruit 'hit', but pleasant enough drinking.

Fruit forward - stewed black fruits, licorice, perhaps some meat. Falls off quickly with no tannins. Might go back for the last couple. If scoring 89-91.

May 7, 2012 - Dark and moody without being unbalanced. Deep, deep color. Stewed plums on the nose. Powerful and rich flavors of dark fruit and some baking spice. Nice effort.

April 22, 2011 - I thought the years would have put a dent in this one, but it's still pretty stout. Deep, dark purple color. Sweet plums on the nose. Full bodied, with big blue fruits, some spice and cigar box on the palate. It's not subtle. I'm a fan of the Two Hands line, but this one is just a little too over the top, fruit-wise, for my taste. Still, they have a plan here and it's not a bad wine by any stretch.
