'just remember this being "alright". Needed more character. I'd like to try it again. Previous vintages are very popular here.

Actually bought it just for the name, as a joke for a friend, and I would imagine it priced slightly higher just for that sale, however, it was decent (not great).

I found this wine very large full and rich with smooth tannins. A great BBQ steak wine for the guys.I loved it. In Vancouver BC it was $34.99! I would definately add it to my cellar.

Nose: Rich raspberry, very juicy fruit, chocolate with white chocolate and some earthiness

Palate: Good acidity with a wrapping of some oak that isn't integrated yet. A great red forward fruit mouthf with a full body and some stout structure. Good with pepper finish.
