Lovely garnet colour. Dark fruit, some spice, a touch of mint and pencil shavings on the nose. Too sweet for my taste on the palate but good balance of acidity and ripe tannin. Plump ripe texture. — 14 days ago

Deep ruby color; menthol, cherries, and dried herbs on the nose; medium acidity; high tannins; tastes like blackberries, menthol, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. Jason likes it. Jen likes it. Brian loves it and I do too. — 2 years ago

On first opening, bouquet of black cherry and blackberries, Big Red cinnamon gum, bell pepper, and smoky bowling alley; palate of black cherry and plum, char, and black tea with a medium-short finish. On the second day the candy and bell pepper smells taper, bowling alley becomes more of a whiff of pipe smoke, blackberry bramble emerges with spent firecrackers; on the palate the black pepper spice has some herbs de provence, black tea tannins are rounder and the cherry flavor more tart, a fuller body on the finish with notes of char, meat fats, and pepperoni spices. Was gonna go with 89 but it’s impressive once you decant for a day. — 3 years ago

Strawberry, chocolate, tobacco, cherry. The Cabs and Malbec play wonderfully together. — 7 months ago
