Gorgeous caramel color. The aromas arefantastic, caramel peach, dried pineapple. There is spice note to it... In the palate you definitely taste the spices, pineapple, apricot and candied peaches.... Phenomenal...

Big bold wine, tannins have mellowed since I last tried it a few years back. Dark fruit notes such as black berry, cherry, and prune, the hint of cocoa and lead in it makes it a complex wine. Opened it 30 min earlier and let it breath and got better with time... Overall a delicious wine...

Dark in color, silky with black berry, fig and nice oak notes. Caramel and mocha come later with just a hint of tobacco. Good length in the finish but the acidity just doesn't drive it all the way home. Still a very good wine.
