Big fruit flavor up front, but seriously lackluster finish - falls flat.

Highly concentrated blackberry, luscious and big. Long finish gives spice notes and plenty of pucker. Tannins are dense and a little scratchy, so let it breathe or lay the bottle down for a year.

Although young to say the least, abundant black fruit and wonderfully round and smooth. True not much of a finish but I didn't mind. Terrific with food or on its own.

Loved this. Was too excited to try it, and didn't let it age.

Very oaky, dark, intense taste. My favorite wine thus far.
