Wine, wine, wine, wine, LOVELY WINE! WONDERFUL WINE! WLTV forever!! I'm a citizen of the Vaynernation. (Regarding my ratings: I'm pretty easy, people. You might find them high, but I suppose it's all relative! I love wine! I have no reason to be harsh... yet. Let's discuss. :)

Really nice cocoa notes come out after some oaky fruit. I like it!

Spicy, smokey fruit on the nose; mouth-filling, jammy, nice firm mid palate.

I couldn't get over the weird nose -- like cooked cauliflower or thai carrot soup.. yes, there was fruit underneath. I think it was supposed to be like that, so how can I say it was wrong? Just not my cup of tea -- wine.

Black tea and pepper on the nose. Gorgeous fruit and gameyness.
