Very nice bouquet, drinking well now. Wish I had bought more.

Coffee, leather, smoke, dark chocolate and cherry on the nose. Stewed fruit, leather, bitter sweet chocolate, tobacco and mint on the palate. Quite well balanced and not at all hot despite the 14.5% alcohol. Medium finish, but a little one dimensional - heavy on the smoke. It was excellent paired with a steak, very smooth, would probably also pair well with a dark chocolate dessert. Will definitely be looking for another bottle. Just wanted to note that there was a fair amount of sediment in the bottle, this doesn't bother us, but I would recommend decanting and running through a fine mesh filter if this bothers you.

Inky purple; black cherries, blackberries, vanilla; ripe berry, slightly peppery, creamy, full body, excellent balance, silky tannins, long finish.
Ultra-ripe fruit and tannins with just enough acidity. Oak flavour and a hint of shiraz pepperiness complimented nicely. Wonderfully balanced. Wow!
