  Agree with existing reviews. Dense rich colors but lacks finish. Nice bottle to sip for $10 but you can find better.

  Considering this was established by Moët & Chandon, I was a little disappointed with the result. It has undeniably "dense, rich color[s]", but I fail to detect "the power and intensity" of this blend. Aromas are muted and I can only detect cigar box with subtle notes of black currents; none of Shiraz notes seem to come through. Flavors are far more pronounced: mostly fresh (berry) fruit, cherry, and cocoa powder. Tannins are present but the finish is on the short side. At $10 on sale, it is a good value but at $20 retail there are better choices. Wine Spectator supposedly rated this blend 90 points.
