More balanced and delicate than the Cabernet/Bourbon barelled sibling. Harmonic, mature black fruit, toast, plum and liquorice, with a silky phenolic finish.

Dark fruit. Plums and dark cherries. Too much alcohol though, which masks a lot of the fruit. Oaky vanilla and brown sugar notes as well. Sweet dark fruit on the palate, mainly juicy plum. Also some molasses-like expressions. Again, too much alcohol which is a pity. Great, not fantastic.

Deep ruby in color. Rubber, plum, black cherry, molasses, and oak on the nose. Rubber, pepper, dark fruit, and molasses on the palate. Smooth tannins and mild acidity, the mouthfeel is underwhelming. Rubbery, bitter, and hot finish whose only redeeming quality is a hint of vanilla and molasses at the very tail end.

pleasant, but not very refined; a bit of a strange subtaste, because of the rum ?

Very strong vanilla notes. If vanilla isnt your cup of tea, then this will definitely will not be your wine

Not to my taste; too sweet. Definitely lives up to its name, as the rum flavors are dominant.

Vin rond avec un coté boisé juste assez présent. On retrouve du fruit rouge. Bon RQP
