Pretty anonymous. Ripe and new world-ish style of Italian. I must say this felt like a very modern interpretation. It is drinking well however and score points based on deliciousness. Needs some heavy food to match.

2011 Casual Session - 9 @ ES (Extra Space Boon Keng): Alcohol :: 14.5% Served with Riedel O Bordeaux. This is quite a powerful wine with loads of jammy fruits on both nose and palate. Very sweet creme de casiss and black currant fruits that added a bit more depth with its oak, pepper spice and savory meatiness. As the nose suggested, the palate exhibit loads of jammy dark fruits and oak, very rich, with liquid like dark chocolate and grounded coffee bean accompany with vanilla creaminess and sweetness with tannin well integrated, very intense but not much depth, the complexity is pretty surfaced. This is definitely a powerful wine, though slightly heavy. Finish is long too. Drinking well now. Buy - No - Maybe.

Definitely on its way out. Not undrinkable, but really not enjoyable either.

In the past I thought the palate was turning but this is better than that. I wouldn't really buy it at $24 though.
