  Try decanting as the acid and tannins dominate. Fruit is there but secondary.

  Medium to dark purple with a slightly garnet tinge. Cherry berry and earthy tones with tobacco. Pallet is sharp and acid fruit but with purpose. Quite a long finish with good acid and tannins.

  Ripe black fruits, toasted vanilla pod, spicy tobacco and graphite nose. Palate echoed the nose with lifted acidity and tight structure. Entry is not well defined, transiting to mid-palate is a tad harsh, even after two hours in the decanter. A spicy blue fruits finish with dry tannins. Lacking some balance in the structure.

  Ruby-red, wooden and leather-scents. Medium-full body. Nice, smooth tannins, fruity notes, and good acidity, yet with a bit more alcohol than should.
