It’s nice that they’ve held back this wine for a few years before releasing it, because it’s beginning to meld together in a very delightful way. The tannins, oak and alcohol are coalescing with the cherries, pomegranates, cola, tangerine, vanilla and spices, giving the wine a silky, complex, mellow mouthfeel. Beautifully dry and lush now, and should develop…

A bit soft and dull, with flat, uninspiring flavors of cherries, cola and oak. Feels inert, lifeless, although all the parts are there for a fine wine.
