  This wine is really well evolved - definitely room to improve but surprisingly well integrated with good black fruit to start. Not overwhelmingly pepper-y on the end with a smooth integrated finish with little to no wood tannin bite. Very nice surprise

  Dark red/ garnet. Very savoury nose, pepper, smoked meat, blue fruit and leather. Delicious meaty blue fruit flavours. Fairly resolved finish. In a great place. More acid then tannin.

  Vermelho-rubi de média tonalidade, reflexos claros, algo translúcido. Repleto de cerejas e ameixas frescas, pimenta preta e exibindo um classudo terroso de trufas e arbustos úmidos, apresenta uma boca vivaz e fresca por sua ótima acidez, suculenta e, macia por polidos taninos e com uma calda média mas com alguma complexidade. Casaria bem com um Beef Wellington. 89 GGP
  The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle.

  Unclean and developing nose showing some sulfur reduction, with medium+ intensity aromas of plums, black pepper and truffles. The wine is dry with a medium acidity. It has medium+ tannins and medium alcohol. It has a medium body and medium intensity flavours of plums, black pepper and truffles. Medium finish.
  
  It is and acceptable quality wine, it lacks complexity, the nose shows reduced sulfur and it just have enough fruit concentration and a so-so finish to be considered drinkable.
