  Received a partial bottle to try from my oenophile neighbor.
  15.8% abv
  (mentioned he believes this was one of the best wines he had given me to sample)
  
  Had a sip (along with with BBQ Ribs). Dark purplish red on the pour. Semi-opaque in the glass. Nose of dark red fruit, Blackberry, Cherry and Raspberry. Elevated alcohol (15.8% abv) is well-integrated, a little detectable on the nose, not so evident on the palate. Full-bodied, Rich and Siky-smooth for an exquisite mouth-feel. Tannic, but not harsh, leaving a slight fuzziness on the tooth. Hint of smoke and leather.
  An Elegant, Refined Wine.

  Drinking well right now. Still plenty of fresh fruit but I feel it is peaking. Glad I drank this one now to have it at the peak!

  This wine, although decent, I expected a better experience especially for the price point. The wine was good but not overwhelming, certainly not a wow experience. It started out bad with a crumbling cork bad sign, perhaps? The appearance was good, no bricking or discoloration but It took several hours before it began to reveal anything. Eventually it slowly began to reveal it's makeup. Good, elegant flavors yet inhibited but underperforming A compelling purple crimson color with an modest nose. On the palate elegant extract, dark berry fruits (blue and blackberry) currants but for a wine of this caliber, very lack luster. Good but not great! 92 Points.

  45 minutes in decanter. Super deep, saturated dark purple. Black cherry, vanilla and spicy oak nose. Balanced grip, yet not drying, cocoa and a hint of warm alcohol to finish.

  Red label or Jack's way better than this bottle. Wine just did not come together even on day two. Save your money here, this one is just hype.
