Big, powerful and full bodied. Dark red/purple color. Bold aromas and flavors of jammy cassis, raspberry, black cherry and plum. Nice hint of tobacco and earth on the finish. Creamy texture. Extremely tight, but lightened up with some air. Full bodied with well balanced acidity. Still a baby, but with excellent potential. I would recommend more bottle age for this one. Thank You for sharing, Shaun H!

This review is for the Kosher version. Not good. This wine tastes nothing like Bordeaux. Thin and sour to start, harsh acid to finish.

solid for price point. needs some time to open out. Not as robust as I would have thought but refined taste.
