• Smells very intensely of red fruit & oak
• Very well balanced, with a supple start, which then become quite tannic, but not too rough
• Finale is an explosion of fruit, just strong enough
• Taste reminds me of raspberries, licorice and balanced wood
• Slight touches of cinnamon & Christmas spices
• Nearly perfect, great wine

She says :           4.75 stars

• Nose is excellent, very fruity and generous
• Very soft & supple in your mouth
• Tastes a little like vanilla, honey, ripe fruits & jam (Prunes, dates?)
• Slightly spicy side, with a touch of pepper and licorice
• I love this wine, very interesting & great texture/balance
