On the nose: Medium(+) concentration of dried red cherry and currants with baking spice. On the palate: Dry, medium tannins that were fine-grained, medium alcohol and medium(+) acid with medium(+) body. Medium(+) concentration of red cherry, spice. Medium length. Very well balanced and developed; RTD but can drink well for the next 3-5yrs.

Exactly what was expected! Part of a blind tasting encompassing classic European reds (poured in tasting glasses for ~2hrs before tasting). Medium intensity aromas of blackberry, smoke, pepper and savoury/meat. Dry, medium(+) tannin, medium(+) acid, medium alcohol and medium(+) body delivering medium to medium(+) concentration of black fruit and blackberry with smoke and cracked pepper and some hints of licorice. Very well balanced, with compelling concentration, complexity and medium(+) length.

Dark ruby core fading to a ruby rim. Medium intensity aromas of red and dark cherry, strawberry, and baking spice. Medium(+) acid, medium tannin, and medium body with medium(+) concentration of red cherry with medium length.
