I am very impressed with the old world edge to this wine. There's no funkiness but plenty of leather and hide along with plum and cocoa. It balances very well between being complex and bold but not palate fatiguing.

typical aroma of plum, berry, maybe a hint of chocolate. On first opening there was a French-style note of rawhide, which disappeared on the second day. Full and round on the palate, prominent medium-grained tannins, berry fruit. Very nice.

Smooth, can't taste pepper at first out of fridge. Waiting for it to open it up.
