On the palate, it is full-bodied and features firm tannins, with intense flavors of red cherry and blackberry. The finish features soft notes of blueberry and black currant,.blueberry and black currant.

My review: This wine has a very strong aroma. It seems to create a two foot aura around the wine glass. The nose sweet with hints of currant. The primary pallet is very strong and bursts with oak flavor. This wine has a heavy weight with a blackberry mid pallet. The finish was very bitter. Overall this wine had a bit of acidity that I did not care for. 

I tried this wine with chocolate. The chocolate brought out sweeter notes of the wines, as opposed the the acidity I had tasted before.
