Deep ruby color. Earthy dark berry fruit aromatics. Tastes of blackberry, anise, cedar and graphite. Soft earthy finish with a little heat. This wine was quite closed at first, got progressively better with air and then seemed to nose dive again. What a roller coaster. 14.7% alcohol.

This wine has really left me scratching my head. Dark ruby color. Broody dark berry fruit aromas. Tastes of blackberry, blueberry and prune. Rather monolithic and one dimensional. Rich and over extracted for my tastes. Loads of alcohol rearing its ugly head on the finish. Unrated. 15.8% alcohol.
