stellarspellar's Review:

The nose is bold, hot, complex, and fruity. Beyond the initial fruit bomb you'll find black pepper, chocolate, and some toasted oak (oak done well!). This wine needs about an hour to open up and calm itself down. On the palate this wine really knows how to rock and roll -- good tannic structure, a robust mid-palate, and a heavy mouthfeel reminiscent of an imperial stout.

stellarspellar's Review:

The nose is bright with lime and grapefruit, a bit of buttery oak. Not very complex though. Good acidity on the palate, nice mouthfeel. The finish is nice and long with a solid grapefruit note.

stellarspellar's Review:

Lovely nose -- dark fruits, tobacco, leather, smoke, vanilla, mocha. It has a smooth, thick, heavy-ish mouthfeel...very nice.

stellarspellar's Review:

Lots of cedar on the nose along with some red fruit and delicious manure. On the palate it's smooth and balanced with a pleasant whole-mouth dryness.
