Quite strong. Label calls it "powerful", it certainly is. This masks its more subtle flavours. — a day ago

Less tannic, which I like. Pretty straightforward, blackberry and tobacco; juicy. — a month ago

Great blend. The balance of fruit and austerity is on point. — 18 days ago

Dark ruby red color. Strong smells of fresh pepper, salsa, pomegranate, and smoke. Pretty healthy tannins with tastes of cherries, plums, minerals, bell peppers, cigar box, and vanilla. Will be pairing with a bowl of chicken chili in an effort to compliment but not overwhelm the peppers. — a month ago

A welcoming nose of ripe black fruits such as cassis and plum, dark chocolate, black tea leafs, and bell pepper. The palate is warm and deep, and velvety, with a taste echoing the nose. Polished tannins and long sweet finish. The bell pepper note might be a turn off for some, but I like it a lot here.

Nose is slightly green (pepper maybe). It’s delicate though, with black pepper, dry dirt, red plum skin, and red current. There’s still a somewhat grippy tannic structure drying out the palate and acidity that creeps in around the outside of the mouth. The taste profile isn’t far off from the nose. Good stuff. This can use 2-5 more years. — a month ago
