An opaque, mineral-laden red-berry wine, with minty anise, spice, some tobacco and toast. A medium+ finish on this kitchen sink red blend with a touch of cedar, smoke, and lengthy pomegranate on the finish. A nicely balanced wine drinking well now and would recommend drinking sooner rather than later.

The best bottle yet......unfortunately, the last one. I like blends, and this is a great one. I thought that maybe I should seek out another vintage, but I saw that cellartracker.com reviews on other vintages are not as good as with this one. Was good while it lasted.

An earlier bottle was a big disappointment about a year and a half ago. This one was fairly good and near to what I had originally expected. The first bottle had sat for at least two months after it was delivered. That should have been enough time for the wine to settle down, but that was apparently not the case. This is a deep/dark decadent style wine.

Great value for HB wine. Let this decant and open. Dark berries and a bit of spice. Drink on now and lay a few down
