This wine begins with dark cocoa, roasted pepper, and pine. a bouquet of charcoal , myrrh and kindling incense sticks flicker with flint at the nose - smooth river rock & warm silver nickel nap on the tongue blanketing the edge of any tannins. Sweet candied yams with cinnamon, butter, and cherries begin to bake & marinate the headspace of the glass an hour in. An amazing blend of flavors this onyx purple gem should be experienced first hand.

Very nice. A little different too. Loved this one but I think it's close to $20.

Decent red. My wife didn’t care for it so well I thought it was pretty good.

Tobacco, menthol and brambly black fruit greet the nose (as well as a bit of alcohol). The palette definitely steers toward old world, but with a bit more spice.
