Rich and full but heat is slightly overbearing; masking the fruit flavors.

Colour is a dark red, purple. It has a sweet, grape cherry scent. This wine has a sweet initial taste, with a full body and notes of darker fruit with a medium to long finish. This wine is not open and lacking distinct flavor. It is a little astringent. Tasted March 2012.

Very bold with an overpowering heat from the high alcohol content. Slightly on the acidic side, with richly integrated tannins and strong aroma.
