  colour: dark brownish red. Bouquet: very fragrant with notes of cranberry, black cherry, red plum, vanilla, and a bit of game (~ raw meat). Taste: sour red fruit with lots of spice/pepper. tannins and alcohol are well balanced, with a bit of acidity coming through. Long spicy finish. Wine was throwing lots of sediment. enjoyable.

  12.5% alc, close split between Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc
  
  Stalks and iron with a bit of cherry and white pepper on the nose. The palate is dominated and unbalanced by stalk character, with not enough fruit. The tannin and oak structure in the background actually seems quite good, but I can't get over the stalks.
