Dark purple in color with a deep rich nose of black cherry, plum, chocolate, mint and black pepper. Very viscous and structured wine with lots of flavorful aromas; however, it's difficult to find them on the palate battling with the high alcohol level. I did find a strong molasses and vanilla quality on the palate however. Great nose, but hidden palate. August 6, 2007 | Link to this note

The nose on this wine is it's best quality with anise, meat, mint, clove and mixed raspberry aromas. In the mouth this is a big wine with thick acidity and unctuous qualities. Black liquorice, molasses, black pepper and chocolate lead me to believe that this could be a very fun wine. But the alcohol seems to get in the way of the fruit and other fun flavors. Mixed emotions on this one, and overall I think it's worth trying. August 6, 2007 | Link to this note
