Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Pronounced nose of cloves, oak, vanilla, licorice, blackberries,blueberries, figs, plums, cherry pie, spices and black pepper.
Medium-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
dry on the palate with mainly secondary flavors like oak, vanilla, licorice, toast and blackberries, plums, cherries, cloves, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and spices.
Delicious and entertaining by itself, but would go great with a piece of steak too.
Smooth and pleasurable especially for those who like heavy oak flavors.High alcohol too, but not noticeable.
14.9% alcohol by volume.

Spicy, peppery, smooth bodied, but overpriced and overrated.

Ouch. Grape juice. Had a ‘12 left over and it did not hold up. It’s undrinkable. Tragic.
If you have drink now. And if it survived I’d love to hear about it.

I had the 2012 in a double magnum large format bottle. The nose is stewed dark fruit. In the mouth you get candied cherry, strawberry, tart cherry, clove and rhubarb. The finish has moderate acid and tannins. This is a solid red table wine that I think would match well with a pork chop or hamburger.
