Saturated purple youthful color. Jammy plum and pepper on the palate with a touch of earth on the medium finish.Nicely resolved tannins. Almost a Cab like nose.

Fully mature with a nose that is reticent. A little nail polish (VA?) and alcohol with perhaps a bit of wood. Moderate but not obtrusive tannins, flavors include plum and anise. Unfortunately that VA also comes across on the back end of the wine. Really kind of hollow and a perfect example of how Cuvaison has lost its way in the last 5 years or so. Drink now, there does not appear to be much of an upside IMHO.

dark fruit, acidic, but well worth the price.

Bacon fat, dark fruits, and nice acid.

Certainly very dark, ruby color, but not the full flavor you'd expect from it.
