87/A-
Tasted by Mike Supple - 08 Mar 2009
Deep ruby color in the core with a lighter pink rim. Very youthful in the glass with fresh blackberry and cherry surrounded by a touch of currant leaf, toast and mocha. Rich black cherry and cassis flavors fill the mouth, supported by a touch of leafy greens. Bold tannins fill the mid palate and the finish lingers with flavors of toast and black cherry.

Medium/dark ruby core with a ruby rim. Red currant, sweet plum and spicy anise aromas. Lush entry with a fair amount of new oak. Somewhat thin on the mid palate with slightly astringent tannins.

Medium ruby core with a fuchsia rim. Red currant, blackberry, black cherry and a touch of flint surrounded by toasted brown sugar aromas. Soft entry on the palate. A touch green up front with a bit of dry tannic edge. Orange zest with spicy blackberry and cassis lead to a vanilla finish. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

Medium ruby in the glass. Tight aromas of red currant, red cherries and a touch of clay. Some decent currant and black cherry fruits, but a touch thin on the mid-palate. Medium chalky tannins with a somewhat short finish.

Thick purple with ruby notes. The bold blackberry and black cherry aromas are surrounded by a nice gamy brown sugar ham quality, followed by spicy white pepper. Red currants and blackberries on the front palate are followed by the brown sugar ham in the middle. Black licorice swarms around the fruit. Medium-full bodied with very ripe tannins and a thick, dark, sweet lingering finish. 14.6% ABV.

Medium purple core with a bright ruby-flecked pink rim. Dried currant and prunes fruit aromas are accented by fresh herbs with an underlying note of sweet tea and tobacco, followed by warm brown sugar and raspberries. The flavors follow suit, with tea and prunes up front and rich black currant on the mid-palate. Fairly bold acid keeps the wine from getting too heavy, and the finish has a nice spicy hit of black pepper. 15.6% ABV.
