Very nice. Firm tannins and full old world fruit. Excellent food wine!

V10. Very enjoyable wine. Soft cedar nose. Fresh, bright blackberry fruit. Medium, clean cola and leather finish. Nice food wine.

Let me provide some context for this wine: a catholic, in the shadow of the Holy See, drinking an Illuminati wine. So it's an understatement to say there was some trepidation opening this bottle up. Nonetheless, a few glasses in I was feeling quite enlightened indeed. Notes of oak, dark chocolate, cherry. Superb finish. I would have given it a 10 but I am no illuminatus. You can talk about the science of wine all you want, the climate, the grapes, the altitude. But as any believer in transubstantiation will tell you, there is little that separates a great wine from the divine.
