First sip is particularly dark-chocolatey with a hint of earthy undertones. Second sip as it airs out, it’s filled with berries - rich and thick full of flavor. — 6 years ago

Decent champagne - it's celebratory so Yay. Not too overpowering - light, mellow - not too assertive. Lemon and bubbles and white grapes all the way — 9 years ago

Simple, light texture. The dark berries do appear quite quickly - which is quite refreshing. Doesn't linger long but definitely full of flavor when drinking. — 9 years ago

I don't mind this wine. It's berry filled it's bold but ends with an odd bland taste at the back of the tongue. It's not bad but probably needs a longer time to rest before drinking — 9 years ago

Chocolate, deep thick texture but dissipates quickly. Dark berries do appear towards the middle and finishes quickly as well. Ends w a chalky finish but it works well for it. — 9 years ago

I really like this wine. Opens up beautifully to reveal dark chocolate and dried fruits - almost raisin-like flavors. Really enjoyed it. — 9 years ago
