Clear bright deep garnet. Clean nose of pronounced intensity and very port like - cooked dark fruit, deliberate oxidation, dark chocolate, wet leaves, forest floor (fully developed). The wine is sweet with medium acidity, high alcohol, medium (-) tannins, pronounced flavor intensity, medium (+) body and medium (+) finish. Tastes of sweet spices and oak mainly come into focus. The wine is very good - it has power and structure, but could have a better balance of alcohol and acidity. Nice concentration. Drink now because it's fully developed and will not improve much in the coming years.
