Very impressive effort! Super inky dense opaque brooding monster big time extraction and very fruit focused, was hoping to get some interesting layers & secondary aromas (we probably just drank it too fast - after barely half hour decant). Smooth finely grained tannins broad across mid palate w/enough acidity for a long finish... will buy more of this stuff - amazing value @ $16

Smooth. Stands alone. Nice holiday winter wine. Almost has the feel and taste of a light port. Cherry, chocolate and toffee.

Even color. Forward pepper scent but tastes more well rounded. Residual alcoholic heat on aftertaste.
Comments immediately after opening. Need to let it breathe a bit

Enjoyed with a rich polish sausage hunters stew and Sauer Kraut... Perfect.
