Inky ruby. Raspberry jam, baking spice, and cola nose. medium bodied, dirty strawberries, cranberry juice, dusty tannins, black cherries, smoke, good acid, some heat, and a slightly bitter medium to long finish. Better with food.

Notes of plum, black raspberry, blueberry, crushed rock, yeasty soft pretzel, and grape juice (grape juice and soft pretzel especially potent upon opening but fair away fairly quickly). Palate is a bit austere at first, but softens up with time. Medium, slightly tinny finish. Don't enjoy the palate as much as the nose, but it is still a decent wine overall.

Beautiful nose of plum and licorice. Blueberry and plum, kind of jammy, but the licorice offsets it. Really good length. Nice wine. Give it a little air for it to be more balanced. Might benefit from a little more time, but don't think it has more than 3 years of its prime.

Interesting wine. Nose of plum and licorice. Cool profile of blue fruits, crushed rock, minerals. The Mourvedre is noticable and brings a nice backbone to the wine. No rush, at least 3 more years. 90+ points

Nose of ripe plum, and licorice with some oaky characters of chocolate and spice. On the palate, detected a lot of candied fruits - bucket load of dark cherries, currants, blackberries. Almost jammy, fruitcake. Smooth tannin. Lush and ripe on the finish. A hint of alcohol heat on the back of the throat. Reminiscence of the New World style.

Seems to be a little past its prime. Vinegar like acidity that dissipates more with decanting. Some pepper notes and herbaceous. Port-like nose.

too much fruit - plum dominates - and, yes, a little grape-juicy. not bad, and nice for the price.

Very nice. Great aroma, perhaps a bit too much fruit on taste.
