Now is the time to drink! I purchased three bottles of this a few years ago and were seriously disappointed in each of the first two. Very hot. Unbalanced. Showing no depth. Until now. Finally, the heat is gone and the wine is rich and balanced. Wonderful dark red jam has emerged and this wine is drinking very well. Only wish I had another bottle.

Fruity and jammy, rich, full mouthfeel. A bit zinfandel like, without a lot of the smoky, meaty notes of some syrah. Enjoyable There is a bit of a toffee note in the finish.

Opened not decanted. Alcohol is strong at 15%, this is what I notice almost immediately. A really interesting sweet sour taste with a tangy english toffee finish.
