Well above it’s league for its price range. Smooth and balanced aroma. But not as complex, with mild and short peppery finish. — 6 years ago

Big on taste. Peppery and spicy with plummy mellowness. So dark and depressing that I’d drink it again when I’m feeling really muted and dull. One for a specific occasion! — 7 years ago

7.0

Spicy bitter after-taste which no salt cured cheese can cure. Cheese makes it better but it’s the unpleasant after-taste still overpowers and lingers like a bad breakup. Maybe it’s for days when you actually just want to eat cheese, but you also wanna look rich doing it. Come in this wine bottle to complete the Instagram pic. But well, that seems to be as far as it gets. — 6 years ago

8.3

Smooth and light roasted velvety feel going down the palate. Though it’s light on taste, but doesn’t fall short of decadent enough to pop open for a sunset soirée. — 7 years ago

9.5

What a winner this wine is. To even call it wine is such an understatement, because the combination of those 3 varieties gave birth to an experience so surreal, that it gives meaning to self proclaimed wine connoisseurs, wanting to experience and explore the 7 levels of heaven, or shall I say, the 3 levels of pure vineyard perfection. It gives purpose to wine lovers, because it serves the exact reason why wine lovers like myself drink wine. The flavours are akin to a nice Sakura blossom painting, with some deep rich red-purple colour palette. A visual experience in your mind that you will always long for in time to come. In short, it has ‘characters’ that play out so perfectly well that it commands its own leading title so to speak. And, the best part is you can’t tell who is your favourite character. This is for those whose drank all the hard liquors out there and decided, “wine is for me”. The explorers. — 7 years ago
