Combines juicy and ripe red and black fruit flavors with a solid tannin structure. Those two elements were disjointed at first, but melded into a more cohesive wine with decanting or aeration. Good complexity for the price. Unfortunately, there was something, maybe too much residual sugar, that lingered on the long finish, making it an unpleasant drink for me.

Sometimes you can't by the wine for its clever name. No flavor at all.
