The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like petrol, oak, lead pencil and chocolate. It tastes like mineral, petrol, stoniness, oak, lead pencil and tar. The body is light/medium. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity. extremely overwhelming mineral and lead pencil flavors. Not notes. Far too strong to call them notes. I do not like this wine.
