Wine Reviews and News for Passionate Wine Lovers

The nose is really buttery. Very nice balance, cherry, vanilla and butter. Tannins are nice and strong with a fruity, cherry nice start. The mid palate is a little bacon fat and good transition to the finish with little bitterness. The overall palate is short but a nice effort for 20 bucks.

Solid “old world” red wine. Tons of Berries and very aged smelling oak. Very together nose that is plentifully and balanced. The palate had nice balanced oak, blackberry’s, and black current and still have a nice “old world” taste to it. Nice long finish and the mid palate was still screaming. Overall a very good experience. Higher priced wine but if you like old world you will like this.
