Didn't like it at all; way too hot, overpowering the flavors. After about 90 minutes the alcohol toned down somewhat and I tasted some cocoa and spice but still with a limited finish. Will not buy again.

89-90; potential 91-92. Rosenthal Imports. Organic. Still quite tight. Dark fruit, a bit of tart blueberries and def some blackberries. Nose of damp roses almost, enjoyable nose. Nice structure, high acidity, good tannins. Deep and dark. Excellent in the mid palate but finish weaker but perhaps because of young age. I'd lay down for another 2-3 years or decant for sure. Well made wine. Pair with heavy foods, sausage would be perfect!!!

Very nice, with plums and licorice and snappy acidity, but this is still a bit tightly wound. Decant a few hours, or, better yet, give it a couple more years.

Dark; Some prunes - nose and palate; Medium depth; Not bad, just not distinctive
