Dark red color, opaque center. Back- and blueberries on the nose, quite sweet: Definitively New World Millenium Winemaking at play. On the palate again, lots of sweetness, then big, substantial tannins that dominate everything. The wine is hollow in the middle. Time has not improved it. A showman without substance. Definitively not my style of wine making anymore.

Wonderful big red from Thelema. Complex earthy notes with a nice blend of fruit and spice. Very similar to their Cab Sav varietal. Paired great with a grilled Ribeye.

Napa-esque. Significant tannins and extracted. Absolutely outstanding for me with cheese and biscuits (crackers for the Americans) as the fruity sweetness and tannins are integrated.

Drank with Gyles Webb. Color: Ruby red. Nose/Smell: Cassis, rich and deep. Palate/Taste: Richer, very napa in style. Lots of cassis. Extracted. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and a full body. Long finish. Opinion: Phenomenal.

Typical Yesterday's New World wine making. Overpowering, no finesse, all brawn.
Certainly not my taste anymore.
