Very good, 13.5% alc. colour: red berry, slightly cloudy Bouquet: ripe red berry and spice, sweet scent, earthy, black pepper, mushroom, vanilla Palate: very ripe red berry fruit, mid bodied, spicey and pepper, quite fresh, slightly hot alcohol, quite acidic, some earth and characters like bouquet but more muted. Still very young, and maybe needs a little time. June 2017

Label created to move excess wine? Hard to say but the style is clearly not typical of the standard label. This is juicy and simple, with little structure, but a well made wine all the same. Seems a fraction young but the lack of drive back palate suggests it will drink best at the 4yr to 5yr mark. Can be hand at around $14 so very fair value at those levels.

Épices! Plutôt discret au nez, il se laisse séduire en bouche. Manque un peu d'équilibre.

A little too much of everything for me, wonder if it would be better slightly chilled?
