Sweet and gingerbready, but not without some length and complexity. Earthy and oaky. Thumbs down, Full Pull.

This wine solid right out the gate. Give it 90 minutes in the decanter and you're in for a treat.

Big and round with a touch of green pepper and tobacco. Good density and blue fruits, with a touch of earth. Good value and nice wine which should age really nicely.

Tasting really nice. Chocolate, tart cherries, Baking spice, also a brawny/woodsy quality. The wood is more sandalwood as it opens, very smooth finish with a mixed of crushed berries with a dark chocolate sauce. Maybe even berry cobbler. I really like it. Not a great food pairing wine but nice to drink in front of fire on a rainy evening.
