Opened, poured into a decanter, and saved half in a 375ml bottle. Tasted the half bottle about 4 days later. Dark purple color. Nose offers dark fruit, beef blood and licorice. Touch of dried herbs too. Rich and dark fruited intro, with a round mouthfeel. Tastes a bit heavy without sufficient acidity. Packs a punch at 15,4% abv. although it does not show much heat on the palate.
Good quality cork, branded, no vineyard, and with vintage on the top.

Last bottle of this, upon opening it was a little musty but that blew off after 30 min. Great black and blue fruits, black currant, licorice, dried violets, dried earth, tobacco, spice box, great silky profile and a perfect balance. This wine is as inky as it gets, great stuff.

Informal notes. Nicely ripe, black fruits, very inky, a vegetal/underbrush note, quite tannic still, a little coarse. Hid its alcohol well. Got a bit tiring by the end.

A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark black ink in color. A full bodied red, with blackberry, blueberry, spiced flavors on long finish. www.winelx.com
