The nose has notes of blackberry, fig, nutmeg, cocoa and vanilla. On the palate is blackberry, black currant, black olive and some dark chocolate. For $17.99 this is not a bad Bordeaux.

Grape wood, yellow oak leaves, baked apple, dried blackberry, jasmine incense smoke, pine bark, cran -black cherry fragrances, elegant mouthfeel, aggressive tannin initially, though balanced between fruit and oak, red currant, cranberry, stone-licking, dusty and dry. Twigs and berries on the stiff fruit and cedar wood finish. I like this immensely, but certainly not for everyone. This is cave tools made of flint for gritty combat, not fruit bombs dropped by mad scientists in the hopes of sugaring the masses to death. Hirsute cave ladies, the moon is full, I think you know it's time for bone rattling, plaintive ululating and the coming of Boognish.

This was a nice wine. This is a day after check in so I don't have tasting notes :(

Classic cassis and boysenberry. Lathering tannins obstruct its relative charm. Spicy tannins too. Has a strut to it.

Decent Bordeaux with a lot of fruit, rating bump for $19 price point.
