Bought with Rich's recommendation. It's pretty good. Very smooth with a spicy peppery linger.

This was a 2007 bottle I had put away and forgotten about. Not a good start, with a slightly harsh and bitter taste when it first enters the mouth that finished nicely. Notes of plum really standout. Had with lamb.

Has a great red berry jam going on with a slight smokiness or earthyness. I really like that the alc was not too strong.

Subtle blackberry with nice pepper undertone. Not too forward and paired well with a Mediterranean meal.
