Amazing - inky black and youthful looking. Berries, currants and chocolate on the nose and palate. More fruit than I expected. Tamer than a previous bottle opened a couple of years ago, but can still lay down for a while. Better in the glass after swirling and waiting. In a word, yummy.

This wine is perfectly drinkable. It is just not great from a QPR standpoint. ---This is a postscript. We drank this wine over three nights. The bottle was vacumed sealed after each serving. By the third night, I would have raised the rating to 90. Others may want to consider holding their bottles a little longer or decanting.

Dark as night. Fruit on the nose and palate, big fruit forward style, blackberry. Full in the mouth, some tannins.

Fun wine. Very high in alcohol (16.3 reported), and I think more. Good nose but a bit hot. Enjoyable wine.... worth the money.

Big fruit and dark ruby color. Black pepper and currans come through with blueberry and dark cherry notes. Nice long finish. Great syrah blend.
