Garnet in color with medium legs. The nose is cola, blackberry, and black currant (cassis). The palate shows the same black fruits. The body is full and pretty balanced with a leathery chewy texture with a light to medium finish.

Drank over several nights. complex, mature but not fading. Leather, tobacco, with subtle spice and dark berries with a wonderful finish. Last bottle wish I had more.

Pop'ed and poured. Let wine open in the glass for 30 minutes or so. Very muted nose, dusty with a hint of blackberry. Not much on the palate, fruit seems to be fading but still has good acidy. Rating might be a bit on the harsh side, but for what I paid, expected more.

Nose was a bit funky on opening. Wine needs to decant and sit about 1 hour to bring out its complexities
