Bought at a charity auction, drunk a week later. I got a good deal! Nose of bitter chocolate, mint, strawberry, blackberry, cherry. Palate follows but leans toward the strawberry, definitely fruit forward, with bright acidity and lots of rough gravelly tannin. Fades toward cooked fruit in a fairly long finish. This wine is nine years old but only just slowing down - surely was an OTT fruit and tannin bomb 3-4 years ago. Eager now to visit this winery and see what else they do. Impressive.

Nose a little harsh upon opening; but mellowed quickly after a little decanting. Very fruity with berry and plum flavors; hints of cinnamon and rose. A nice finish

Yum. This smelt and taste like nutmeg. I really enjoyed this bottle and thought it drank great out of the bottle. Throughout the night it began to taste a bit lighter which I didn't prefer but enjoyed it upon opening the bottle. Very interesting taste.

BBQ Pork: Better with BBQ Ribs with sweater sauce. Tenderloin a bit light.

Full of aromas and flavors of cherry, leather, complex. Moderate tannin, long finish.
