Decanted, tasted double blind. This was quite a dark red wine with perhaps a hint of browning on the edges. The nose was quite pleasant with rasberry, blackberry and a hint of smoke, some licorice after some aritime. The palate was easy, not much tannins, dark berries, quite acidic. A nice enough wine, no faults, quaffable.
Decanted, tasted double blind. A very dark red with a purple edge to it. Uff, this was very pungent, cassis, vanilla sauce. The palate was also dominated by oak, very thick, tons of cassis, more like grape juice. This was not my style of wine, too much of everything and all over the place.
