A tannic monster. Figured a wine named "Wild Boar" is appropriate for Father's Day. This is so freaking dark in notes, but the color wouldn't allude to that. Color is red/purple and smells hot. Red licorice, peppercorn, anise on the nose. High tannins on the palate. Cedar, smoky, beef jerky notes to it. Spicy rhubarb too. If opening now, this needs at least a two hour decant. — 9 years ago

Goes wonderfully with everything from Pollo Novello (yummy roasted chicken) to Caserecce con Ragu di Salsiccia (pasta w/housemade spicy sausage)... thoroughly enjoyed our meal! — 10 years ago

Unique / Bordeaux style wine. Needs time to open and despite the age, would improve with decanting this wine. Old world nose, well balanced on mid palate with forest notes and wild berries. Medium finish — 10 years ago

Classic Barossa, big, dark flavored wine with good body. Not a lasting flavor on the pallets but what taste you do get is delicious — 9 years ago

Wild, crazy wine with tons of marchino cherry and orange peel coliding on the palate. The mouthfeel is different than most wine, and I don't think you could really explain this with conventional termonology. This wine is as ancient as they come. — 11 years ago
