Deep ruby, and a slight fading on edges. Strong aromas of lavender and red cherry. Some good acids, tannins still quite bitey, and a lot of alcohol heat. Flavours of red cherry, tar, lavender, fern leaf. A good length

Deep purplish ruby, nearly homogeneous till edges. Ripe blackberry and cassis, as well as fern leaf on nose. Rounded tannins, full-bodied and quite intense, with ripe cassis flavours, pepper, mint, tar, coffee grounds. Upfront. Finish was fair though
