  Very tasty. Fruity, smooth. The only negative would be for the people who don't like big wines. This was pretty heavy

  Almost black colour with Crimson hue. An earthy full fruit wine. Blackberry, cherry, grilled meat, allspice finishing with sweet plum. Medium + body, Tannin barely obvious but clearly supports the wine. An elegant wine that is aging well and still has at least a couple of years in front of it. Slightly bitter aftertaste is probably its only downfall.

  Deep Crimson colour. Coats the glass. Aroma of dry straw and horse sweat. In second night very smooth and fruit forward. Tannin is fine and unobtrusive. Black cherry, strawberry, cocoa and allspice. From memory a better wine then the first night. Must require additional breathing. Vacuum sealed over night.

  Great value for the dollars. Only 13.5% alcohol so no heat. Medium bodied, good length. Light dusty tannins. Fruit pokes out after a few minutes air time. Acid in balance. A pleasure to drink.
