V12. Real nice. Soft crushed raspberry and Smokey nose. Mixed black berry, black cherry, pomegranate and licorice fruit. Smooth, slightly dry , tart mocha and black pepper finish. Lots going on, but well balanced.

Mega Fruit Bomb: suave & silky very ripe almost stewed back fruit of plum, cherry and blackberry w/sweet spice, licorice & vanilla. Soft caressing tannins & minimal acidity completes the picture. Clearly made for the masses but technically sound so hard to find fault aside from 1 dimensional profile.

Big, lots of licorice and stewed fruit, not interesting enough. Feels hot. Would not buy any.

Soft, smooth but not simple. Great lingering flavours, plenty of red, blue and raspberries.
