A monster of a wine. Opaq, almost black color. Complex nose of blackberry jam, sour cherry jam, coffee roast, dark chocolate, luxurious oak, liquorice and spice with some meaty scents. Full-bodied, dense and creamy with BIG fruit, velvety tannins and balancing acidity. Endless aftertaste. Somewhat over the top but impeccably made and enjoyable in its own right. Cannot predict how this will age, though I would suggest keeping it for a couple of years for its elements to come together.
