This was a very extracted wine. I'd say the vineyard was cropped to 1 tonne per acre! The nose was tar, molasses, leather, ripe blackberry, tobacco leaf and eucalyptus. The mouthfeel was lighter, mostly berry fruit with good balance of acidity and very fine tannins. The only fault was the finish was very quick. I think this could go a couple more years, but drinking fabulous right now. Too bad it's not available in North America (as far as I know).

fruits, red berries and dark berries, fruit dominated, a lot of power, tannins present , good acidity, long aftertaste but too fruit oriented, good drinkable for the next 5 years, drank it at the winery

It is a good wine overall. My only complaint might be the very heavy oak treatment. I don´t know if the wine will improve, but if it does it has to lose that very heavy oak flavor. It is a good wine nevertheless.

- Crimsom color and aromas of oak, almond and blackberry. It's balanced and has flavours of oak and chocolate with a medium/full body. Fleshy texture with a long finish.
