Strong aroma of violet, rose and fruits. Maybe a bit of coffee. Flavors are intense too. Bit of pepper, lots of plum and a little licorice. A knock you over the head kinda wine.

Tasted in December 2014: Concentrated blackberry preserves, hints of sagebrush, red pepper, green bell peppers, with black cherry fruit, black pepper, and cream on the palatte.

Oak aroma. Chocolate like. A bit spicy. A little Viognier's flavor makes it elegant. 4days after opening, it still has good flavor and much more fruity, flower aroma and spicy taste. @850, Winelover, 170910-171224

Intense wine with very bold fruit aroma. Strong sense of coffee, ripe roses and caramel toffee. And also a smell of chocolate with almonds. Smooth tanins and low acidity! Also too "wet" on smell!

和朋友在两个晚上喝完,纯饮。在瓶醒及使用仿汝窑茶杯的前提下,胡椒的香料气息非常重,红樱桃和烘焙气息混杂在一起,酒精度给我感觉很强烈,在醒到第二晚时,入口顺滑很多,辛香料变成了一种独特的香气,橡木桶气息脱颖而出,也是愉悦的一次品饮体验。
