I would recommend anybody try this wine because it offers so much and feels so evolved. At times there is light spice and pepper then later plummy fruits roar back. Each mouthful feels like an adventure and each mouthful is long and fulfilling.
Lots going on here; I would best describe this as a ‘thought provoking wine’.

Quite tasty, just old enough to be interesting. Needed decanting to take the edge off the tannins. Hint of bacon, savoury edge, and rich sipping. Started turning slightly sour perhaps after a couple of hours, but very drinkable throughout.

fragrant nose of violets, sandalwood, and cranberries. Medium full body. Dark purple. Concentrated, but not overt, fruit. 12.5% alcohol. Flavors of blackberry, blueberry, and plum. Earthy. Drinking well now, but has some very good aging potential. Well structured tannins and good acidity. Lovely wine.

Rich, complex, long and interesting.
