Very very surprised, this wine is yummy! On the nose chocolate, mocha, cassis, tobacco, vanilla and blackberries.
Tastes of Tootsie Roll, vanilla, caramel, graphite, peppercorns, tar and blackberries.
Smooth, not great complexity but certainly enough. Color indicates possible use of Mega purple, if so it is used wisely. Lacking in acidity (my throat is thanking me, pollen is high).
Ninety minute decant; rating reflects QPR. An enjoyable $14 wine!
