Bought this as a birthday wine and paired it with some Chinese food lamb and eggplant. It’s impressive how much energy and life is still in this, with the color still a clear deep rose, with the bricking amber colors only showing under sharp lighting on the medium body. The nose is like meaty blueberries and mashed strawberries, maybe even a little plum, with musty bookcase and black olive notes with maybe a hint of blood orange as well. It blends perfectly with food, with deep ripe jammy blueberries and black berries, more black olives, a hint of tar, driftwood, barbecue burnt ends and tannin that’s still very much gripping at the end of the palate. The flavor lingers for a looong time, with hints of celery salt and a kind of inky black saucy flavor, like a dark soy sauce but more vinegary towards the end. Damn fine wine. — 5 days ago
Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red and black fruits with light wood, spices, chocolates, herbs and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.
Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and a good food wine too.
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. Aged in new French oak barrels for 24 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
89 points.

Nice wine..strong citrus, refreshing, not very sweet at all. Very smooth with hardly any acidity. Note: Our bottle is the Amarante grape.

Very nice! A little funky, but good depth. Melons, butter, honeysuckle, and steel dominate. Big wine! — 17 days ago
