Inky in color with a wide purplish rim.
Fruity nose (but not strong) with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, raisins, vanilla, oak, licorice, cloves, spices, chocolates, black pepper, coffee, tobacco, spice box, earth, light vegetables and pencil lead.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long long legs.
Dry to off dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, cola, licorice, cloves, tobacco, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Medium-plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.
This Australian red blend is drinking very nicely now. Rich, jammy and very fruity. Almost balanced, with mild complexity and a great mouthfeel. Showing lots of chocolate, smoke and coffee notes. It has high alcohol, but it's not very noticeable. Tastes more like a California Cabernet.
I decanted it for an hour, but that didn't do any change. Good by itself as a sipping wine by the porch or fireplace. Another good everyday wine with a cool label.
I enjoyed it with a cheese plate and crackers.
Aged for 30 days in Rum barrels.
15% alcohol by volume.
$12.

Robust, syrupy fruit dominating the palate before the rum barrels come in on the finish. Boozy brown sugar, molasses, viscous vanilla. I generally like all 19 crimes and this is no exceptions. Good stuff.
