To the nose, PLUM with blackberry and black cherry. There is some underbrush and slight vegetal. On the palate, blackberry and plum with slight black cherry. Leather is notable; no tobacco. No cola and minimal chocolate. Tannins are present in strands providing good structure. Medium length but less than medium mouthfeel. I knew this might be past peak and I think that is clear. Oh well!

The wine was dark ruby, almost purple in colour and offered red fruit, plum, vegetal notes, anise, some chocolate, some coffee and herbal spice on the nose. On the palate the wine showed red fruit, vegetal notes, anise, some chocolate, some coffee and herbal spice, with medium-level acidity and tannin, a creamy mouthfeel and good length. The medium- to full-bodied wine had a soft texture and was reasonably balanced. O.K. considering the affordable price.

Drinkable. Delivers what we were expecting. Paired nicely with a spicy Indian dish.
