May 6, 2017 - Pale in appearance, somewhat like a Pinot noir. Raspberry, kirsch and vanilla on the nose. Real concentration on the palate with the fruit coming through again, the oak is well integrated, the tannins are mellow and the alcohol while present is not overpowering. Lengthy finish. An outstanding quality wine that was a real pleasure to drink.

February 13, 2009 - Huge notes of ripe pomegranate, raspberry, hints of cherry liquer, touches of vanilla, it's an expansive wine that is full and thick on the palate, there is nothing boring or ordinary about this fantastic wine.
