Ripe raspberry, cherry, pommagranent, some heat, cigar box - very nice, ripe wine with solid tannins and pronounced acidity but drinks nicely.
Delicious wine! Smooth and fruity, but not overdone. Really enjoyable. I rate it higher than other wines by the same winery.

John Szabo's review is bang on. "Not a style I enjoy."
