This wine's too big and bad for me and I doubt that it will ever be nice. Purple/black opaque in the glass. Alcohol, dark fruit and wood on the nose. Really disjointed flavors of blackberry, vanilla, caramel, toasted oak. Thick and alcoholic in the mouth with a long burnt, bitter finish. This is like the Frankenstein Goliath of wines with a Jekyl-Hyde personality. Doesn't even resemble the 2001 effort which, admittedly, is a fruit bomb, but a very tasty one. 15.5% [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img] Alc/vol. $15. Sampled by 7 friends in Ocean City...none liked it. I think Sparky, Sarah and Dan blew this one.
