Clean on the nose with Green Pepper. Medium body. Jammy up front. Let it sit in your mouth for 15 seconds and the pepper kicks in. Balanced tannins. — 8 years ago

Chocolate on the nose after opening. Decanted and smelled again getting the smell of cherries jubilee and a hint of vanilla as well. Medium to medium heavy body. Smooth taste, but not complex. Very drinkable but hoped it would be more impressive. — 9 years ago
