Sharp, black fruit on the nose. Sharp, concentrated one-dimensional fruit on the tongue. The alcohol comes through a little too much to keep it in balance. It's a tasty wine, but not one to savor when you're expecting complex layers.

Screw and pour produced nice upfront fruit of berries, oak and vanilla. After some time spice came across at the finish. Deep garnet color, medium body and nice legs. At 15.5% my girlfriend said she felt the alcohol but alas I didn't. I have had this wine before and was somewhat more impressed with previous tasting. Having said that this was a very nice wine that went well with roasted chicken, sweet potatoes and broccoli.
Next day, same as day before with more spice and pepper on the finish. Still a good wine at the price. Definitely a wine for food.
