What a deep purple colour, intense nose of toasted coconut and red berries, spicey. On the palate a mix of wild berries, with coconut oak and vanilla, then the acid and tannins bite and make this linger on the tongue for quite a while. This bottle was killed way too early, I am really excited to see how the potential of it develops. Try again in 2-3 years time. 90++

Nose of earth, tobacco. Full-bodied and round, loads of cassis and black fruit, mouth-filling tannins. Not sure what else you can ask in a $15 wine.

Day 1: Dark wine with some pretty floral fuit underneath the dark, meaty french dirt structure, wine was not asking to be drunk thats or sure
Day 2: Really opened up, with a core of sweet sunshine fruit, mixed with earth and leather, subtle bitter tannins and a big ole dash of herbs
Conc: Solid for the price, needs some sideways time 2/3years
