(TAIT THE BALL BUSTER) #3 (by Russ J); COLOR-dark; NOSE-huge raspberry jam; fruit roll-ups; little skittles action; TASTE-very concentrated, enormous amount of body on the palate; very heavy; very jammy & fruity (strawberry & raspberry jam, little cassis); alcohol coming through; big juicy wine, but some nice complex components; nice wine, but a little hot; big New World; a little off-balance & hollow on the mid-palate, but it's solid; RP-92; GV-88

Initially very smooth with great red, black fruit that was very enjoyable. After 60-90 minutes the acid came to the front and the wine seemed less balanced. Good with was last bottle in the cellar.

- Garnet color and aromas of blackberry. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish - It was very good.
