Winery review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate.

My review: I picked up aromas of plum, mocha and red fruits.  It was dark, heavy aromas and flavors.  There were cocoa. dark cherry and earthy flavors. It was a pleasant wine.

I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
