I tasted this blind but was given it to take home and evaluate
it over four days. While my rating stayed the same the alcohol was most evident
on day four.

Ultra ripe and moved into the port end of the spectrum is
this big wine. The rich fruits are very dark with a little boiled fruit action
coming through over the top of the leather and dark chocolate flavours. The
tannins sit firmly underneath but they do add a bit of food friendliness to
this beast. Once the flavours hit my
tongue the alcohol is the first thing that I notice and it stays that way for
the whole of the tasting event. I would be drinking this now with a half cow
attached.
