Please see the original thread in the Virtual Tasting section of this Forum for our Virtual Tasting of any Dow's LBV (and please open a bottle and join in the fun)

Popped and poured over a couple hours. Initially the spirit was a little out of joint and poking through too much, which integrated nicely within an hour. Light-Medium bodied LBV of plums, chocolate, and eucalyptus. The tannins are soft and only slightly noticeable, which bodes well against the fruit. The finish is rather hollow and short. This was ok, but also a disappointment as Graham's Six Grapes has a better palate and longer finish and is also available for about $5-6 cheaper, which is a decent amount in this price range.
