my last of 3 bottles bought; dusty chocolate nose with brambly berry flavors and lush, but simple, fruit finish, even sweet, no tannins left at all, easy to drink; not as fruity on nose as earlier bottles, but I kept this longer than probably intended by the maker; as I drank this I tended to focus on the sweet finish and my impression diminished

Compared with 2009 Apothic Red, which we preferred. This had a somewhat closed aroma, berryish, not very pronounced. Medium bodied flavors, balanced, no significant tannin, but one-dimensional. It has lost some of its fresh fruit "zing" since it first appeared. Best to drink up any bottles left.

This was hated by the entire household. Even the non-snobs who claim to like "everything". Jug wine. Pretty bottle is the only positive note I can offer.

Lots of fruit. Nice balance. Smooth as glass. Clean finish.
