Medium garnet, viscous and some visible stain. Fairly intense nose, with ripe cranberry and cassis aromas, some fresh cut grass, black pepper and cinnamon, and a savoury meaty feel, and cocoa. Full bodied and intense, with mouthwatering acids and some bite of tannins, with ripe cassis flavours, black pepper, thyme, sage, grass, cinnamon, caramel, and a slight leathery meaty feel. Really long, and very complex finish. Fabulous wine!
Deep purple, very viscous, and significant stain. Pronounced nose, mainly led by overripe cassis and cut grass, coffee, dark chocolate, and liquorice. Full bodied, powerful crunchy tannins, mouthwatering acids, and lots of heat, with intense flavours of ripe energetic cassis fruits, pepper, fresh cut grass, liquorice, coffee. Long finish, with medium complexity. Definitely needs some more bottle age, but one that has a lot of potential to become spectacular
