Had this as part of a "lost in the cellar" night with my wine group. It was the final wine of the night, after 10 previous red wines. It was popped 'n poured, no decant, no breathing time. Was really surprised at how good this was. It had a massive 16+% alcohol level, but it still had plenty of fruit to balance it out, and it never tasted hot or port like.

Bought from winery at release and held at professional storage since then. Excellent ! Still could drink well for 3+ years but why wait. Great fruit and acidity, tasted like blueberry syrup.

Dark, cloudy red color. Generous fruity nose, some heat. Quite tasty palate, very fruity. Interesting wine. Excellent, but not really my style.

Very funky upon opening, settled down after about an hour. Cherries, blueberry, brandy. I think its time to drink these up
