Very deep and full-bodied, a dark delicious wine, deep, deep purple color. Taste of violets, savory blackberries and dark cherries. Some spice. Mild tannins. It has a long finish. We were surprised by how much we liked this one. Perfect to accompany Italian food.

Smoke...yes, smoke...puffed out of the bottle upon opening. Looking down into the bottle, there was more smoke sitting inside the neck. Not a good sign. I thought it might blow off, so I waited an hour before drinking it. On first sip, there was an awful fizzy quality that forced me to run to the kitchen sink and spit it out. Absolutely the worst wine I have tasted this century. Disgusting. I gave this exactly 2 points, but cellar tracker forced me to give it at least 50...so please subtract 48 points from this overly generous rating.

A little bit of a fizzz, but nice quaffing wine.
