Intense, opaque core with medium ruby-garnet rim. Intense developed nose with plenty of black cherries, anise, oak and some cedar.
Intense, with fresh acidity, and a high level of soft, large tannins, medium alcohol and intense fruit flavours. Black cherry, anise and cedar and a long, velvety complex finish.
Drink now, not improving. Will last a few more years though.

Poured with BBQ pork spare ribs and honey baked beans. Color is deep purple, verging to black. Pretty tight for the first two hours, and I didn't think the nose really ever came around. Once it had opening up, though, the palate showed rich dark fruits, some cassis, and good depth. Not bad at all for the price.

Violet note, too much and not pleasant like a cheap perfume. Fruity and full body, if not for the note quite enjoyable.

Incredible deep inky color for 10 year old. Wonderful, meaty nose with hints of mint. Fruity and well balanced on taste. Very nice
