Inky crimson. A nose of strawberry jam that's been outside in the sun for a bit. Medium bodied, dried raspberries, chocolate cherries, dirt, pepper, completely integrated tannins, good acid, smoke, and a sappy, medium to long finish. Drink up - its still good but not getting any better.

Much more syrupy and sweet than the previous bottle. Hints of butterscotch along with the expected smooth bramble fruit. Not as much spice as the previous bottle either. Will revisit.
A night later and it's more in balance. Nice wine. Still a little more ripe and raisined than I prefer, but delicious.

Bramble, spice and berry flavors. Too sweet for my taste.

Expressive nose. Abundant brambly fruit and cola on palate, with a spicy finish. A good every day wine, but there is better for under $20.
