Big, sweet and utterly lacking in typicity. Nothing but sweetness on the nose. Dominated on the palate by eucalyptus and cherry. Very little structure.

The wine was just overly big, sweet with little finesse. It was also hot and tasted overly extracted. It did not go well with food. The aftertaste was not pleasant. The bottle was sampled over three days with little change.

Deep purple, black currant nose, black cherry with spice taste, great balance, full body, long finish. Drinking very well cellar for a couple of more years.

Glad I waited for this to balance out with time Has the moderate fruit and spice with enough acid to support fine tannins and a long finish
