Intense black cherry fruit and crushed rock on the nose. Balanced and nicely-structured.

Second time around was much more respectable! Showed intense red & blue fruit but more layered, maybe with longer decanting, but showed some coffee, exotic Indian spices, pepper, vanilla, gorgeous extract and just a hint of hi-toned aromas... really delivered for under $20

Really wanted to love this, and it is well made, but it ended up just being a fruit bomb: inky, superripe berry fruit with a hint of vanilla & spice. Flabby and lacking acidity, it just sort of bum-rushes you with fruit then it’s gone.
