opens up after about 45 minutes. smells like dark cherry cream chocolate from sees candy. earthy, mellow, scent of raspberries. Color, Dark Red, tinge of violet. Taste. After it opens up, tannins,earthy, metallic, chocolatly.full bodied, a little tabacco on the mid palate, but lots of tannins, and a little oak. imo this is not very berry like but more on the vegetal side, little cream of asparagus on the aftertaste, but quite a long aftertaste, ripe.
500ml for 25USD, reasonable for this quality but have tasted better for price.
