It’s got a nice creamy texture but the oak treatment is hideous

Decent legs, neither bold nor sweet. Dark colour. Green pepper, cranberry, cherry, cardamom, bay leaf. Low acidity, high tannin, very tart

Had high expectations that were not met. It was good, especially with meat, I loved the taste of berries but there was a certain after taste that stayed in the mouth too long.

Nose of antiseptic, but not as much heat as it lets on. Savory on the palate, awash with cranberries. Thoroughly did not enjoy, and food didn't help either.

Beatiful aroma and nice legs, but the blend lacks a significant punch. It's too basic and doesn't have enough flavor. It wants to be big and soft at the same time but fails to do both. Disappointing. $15
