Fantastic. Great structure and balance.

Apr 3rd, 2019A fair amount of heat on the nose. Slightly overpowers the cola, cherry stem and crushed fruit scents. Dark fruit but not too jammy and raspberries, then a touch of bay leaf and spices on the palate. Becomes a little more nuanced the next day, and may meld better (though perfectly nice now) with another 3-4 years (tasted Feb 2019). Impressive for under $20. This is a wine born for Bolognese.

Nov 1st, 2017Really nice, bright and spicy flavour. A little bit fruity and chocolaty, but kind of hollow at the back of the tongue. Regardless very good.
