December, 2011 - Opaque in color, the aromas are dominated by gobs of black and blue fruits along with some subtle baking spices. On the palate, this is loaded, i mean loaded with cocoa powder and dark chocolate. This wine is just massive and in your face. It is a tasty wine but it's flabby and lacking the structure to support its weight. There is no doubt that you need to know what you are getting into here, old world lovers should run as far away as they can from this wine. You might need to make a dentist appointment after drinking this jammy monster! (Drink 2011-2014) - JD
