Appearance - deep minus ruby. Not opaque but...close
Nose - youthful, premature. You get the wood and you get the berries medium intensity. Primary berries. You get the alcohol eye burn. Getting chocolate, cola, Dr Pepper. Mint chocolate chip. Alcohol still dominates on the nose.
Palate - a burst of wow. Still quite young but emerging in flavors. Medium plus intensity, gets bolder mid palate. Finish is medium plus. Body is medium plus, tannins medium plus and after you swallow, they cost the insides of your gums. Wine is dry. Alcohol more integrated on palate than nose. Flavors consistent with nose just mode pronounced and juicy. Berries, pepper finish, taste ripe and pure fruit.
Probably drinking too early but....it was there. Good value for price. Nice blend.
