Nose of vanilla with rose poking through. Powdery but strong tannins that don't distract. Chocolate flavor coming through at a second level.
Very well-balanced despite the 15% ABV and an incredilbly good wine. Drink now or in the next year (2022). Held in the glass for a bit, but started to fade.

This is a fairly big and dry wine with loads of ripe black fruit, tobacco leaf, cocoa, medium acidity and some still aggressive tannins. This is a fairly well balanced red even with an ABV of 15% as there is little to no heat from the alcohol. An excellent QPR.

Red fruit forward, matched almost mouth watering acid and tannins. Some leather, not oaky at all. Medium weight, short finish. Nice QPR.
