Extreemly well made wine. Beautiful packaging (perfect for a gift). Nose: Fruit explosion. Red and black fruits all over the place. I can smell some greenness too! A bit too hot on the nose (this is 15,5% alcohol!) if you sniff it too hard. Aromaticly exceptional. I smell butter too, which i suppose comes from oak. Definite black pepper! Why GV didn't catch that? Taste: fruit for days, very heavy, very focused. too hot for me though. Black pepper. but! it isn't that classic hotness of alcohol. It's like hot + razor sharp (acid). I don't know why :). As gary mentioned - huge delicious factor, quite tannic. Veeeeeeeeeeery long finish. I mean veeery long, i've drunk it 2 minutes ago and still tasting it. I get nutts on the back end too! God damn! For the first time ever :). That's quite exceptional.
