Full body, deep garnet red color, highly aromatic – fruits bomb, fruity and spicy aroma, ripe plums, cherry, black currants and chocolate on the palate, coffee on finish, medium long finish, powerful and complex. Food friendly. Associates with beef. Serve 18º - 22º. Open one hour in advance. Drink now.

Smells internationally styled, with a lot of mocha and toasty oak that carries through on the dark-chocolate-drenched palate. But it's structured pretty well despite the spoofy flavors; the fruit isn't jammy and is restrained by an almost austere layer of dusty tannin. Still, this is a disappointingly anonymous wine, especially given the $30 price tag.

Full bodied and very tannic. Opened up nicely after a while in the glass though.
