Tasting note:

Tall, dark and handsome… just the kind of wine I’d like to meet at a party. Full-bodied, rich and loaded with big, black fruit and smoke. Savoury enough for any hearty meat dish, yet ready to dance with meat lovers’ pizza too. Great date wine. Food matches: meat dish, meaty pizza.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Deep ruby color. Blackberry and cherry-cola aromas are complemented by notes of dried flowers and tobacco. Deep in dark fruit flavours and chewy in texture, with firm tannins adding structure and back-end grip. More serious than the Payouse, with strong finishing thrust and resonant dark fruit notes. Score: 90(+?) Source: Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar
