  Lot of tannins and tough to drink. Needs air.

  The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blueberry. It tastes like blueberry, vanilla and fur. The body is medium/full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  My last bottle. Great mix of red and black, a smokey presence with a solid fruit core. Chocolate, fig and tobacco. Quite lively in the mouth with generous tannin and acid making it a food wine. I really enjoyed this.

  - Ruby color and aromas of fig, raisin and molasses. It's overly tannic and has flavours of bell pepper and green olive with a medium body. Leathery texture - Leather and barn yard.

  Very good. Not a simple wine. It will not please everyone but for those open minded, it is a great discovery
