Very soft cork that came apart as pulled. Slightly opaque and cloudy, brown tinged ruby. Very soft cherry and cola aromas. Remarkably lovely and soft cherry fruit. Good acidity, this wine is still fresh and alive. Just a touch of earth and spice to round out the wine. Delicious.

Deep colored wine. Bouquet was intensely sweet - overwhelmingly coconut. Lots of black fruit on the tongue, mixed with sweet candy. Heavily oaked wine lacks structure but is redeemed by a nice acidity.
