Initial bold backberry tase. Smooth and with lavender. The wine has a finish like a port wine. The wine is a bit confusing with a lot of flavor dynamics. The caracteristics have an older wine profile, but still holds fruit. The wine was better then we expected.

The wine was decanted for an hour prior to serving. In my opinion the wine has peaked. Hints of pepper on the initial tasting. As the evening went on the wine mellowed and was very nice after about 3 hours. Drink this wine now.
