A claymore is a Scottish sword.. The Scots could not create this superstar.. It has nearly every thing Bacchus and I are looking for.. Silky flow, testing tastes, nice aroma and a friendly feeling.. Stunning with fish... I know I'm a Neanderthal .. But hey I don't adhere to the traditional rules..

Raspberry and dark cherry on the nose. Charred green peppers and soot on the palate.

Recommend to me @O’Briens. It’s an average red. Have had better at similar price points.

Medium-full bodied. A little fruity, but smooth and well balanced with some tannin.
