Potent (15% alcohol) with rich cassis and blackberry. Yet it's also dry, and crisp acidity balances the weight and fruit. Good complexity for the style -- earth, black olive and espresso. Tannins are finely buffed. Unfiltered, and it throws a lot of sediment. (17.5/20 points) (LM)

Vivid ruby. Sexy aromas of cherry-vanilla, cola, brown spices and licorice. Sappy cherry and dark berry flavors are framed by velvety tannins and show a lot of smoky, sweet oak influence. I like this wine's depth and sweet fruit but wonder about the oak element. (JR)
