Drunk review 1: Bold and full, with notes of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate you forgot you had because it was a gift from your grandmother and you were saving it for a special occasion, but instead it sat on your shelf. But it’s dark chocolate, so it kinda lasts forever, right? But the wine is bold and heavy like winter. Pair while petting a St. Bernard or a Newfoundland. Aftertaste of spice.

Not exactly my cup of tea, but the juice is undeniably good. Just a bit too ripe and oak driven.

This bottle was a big tease. Intoxicating nose and delightful on the front palette. Gets your mind thinking of great things for the finish like depth, complexity layers etc. It never comes. The finish is completely lacking. Such a tease.
