A smoky nose with a touch of alcohol tickling the sinuses. The fruit comes across as thick and the wine's texture is relatively full bodied with smooth mocha tannins. There's a slightly cooked rasiny aspect on the finish but otherwise this is a very quaffable, if strong, wine. 85-86pts.

Smelled great, and while it wasn't 100% corked, we both felt that it was "going" corked. Very disappointing because you could tell this would have been a great bottle.

Loved this elegant wine. Sour cherry, leather and touches of savoury flavours combine well.
