Gentle yet dominant cassis for the most part. Also mint, tobacco, wallet leather, polished wood, mulberry, cherry. Kittens tongue tannin fans out, a touch drying, nice wash of freshening acidity. Maturing but won’t fall over any time soon. Never going to be intriguingly complex, but at any age a damn good workhorse red.

This wine is still in great shape, full body with great balance and nice juicy fruit. Great tannin structure so I think it will go a long ways yet... I will look forward to the next bottle next year. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), plum and mushroom. It tastes like plum and tobacco. The body is medium/full. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Closed nose, with notes of dark fruit and pepper, and hints of oak, smoke, and cured meat. Palate is on the light side of medium-bodied; acid and tannin are light, but tight. Indistinct flavours of berries and cherries, with hints of cola and oak.
