Deep dark red with a purple center. It had aromas of dark fruit, flint and roses. It was balanced, dry, smooth and rich with dark red cherries and blackberries with slight flavors of spices. The finish was full bodied and long.

Wow. Got this for $14.99 and what a steal! Deep dark ruby, almost purple in color, only a tad lighter around the edges. Strong aromos of dark black fruit, pencil shavings, and rose petals. Ripe and round fruit flavors intermixed with pepper notes, medium to full bodied with a nice long finish. Big and complex without being too heavy, a great balancing act.

Enjoyable aromas of black pepper and dark berries. Very similar flavors on the palate with some pencil lead and spice thrown in. Feels tightly wound right now. Maybe it will open up with some air. Gripping tannins.
