The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like blackberry, plum and peach. The body is full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

nose: rosemary [among other herbs], smoky berry jam, alcohol
palate: plum and blueberry pie filling with vanilla. a bit thick. strong acids kick in the midpalate to balance the richness. theres a beefy savoriness thats offputting to me [thinking beef jerky], but others might enjoy. gritty tannins show up almost too late. finish is like munching ripe grapes, seeds and all.
i dunno...all over the place. i would say reasonably complex but not necessarily enjoyable. theres a lot going on and none of it comes together
