Pomegranate and balsamic on the nose upon opening. Flavors evolve into dates and stewed prunes as it opens and eventually notes of coffee and dark chocolate. Complex and full bodied with silky tannins and medium acid. Really showing nicely now but likely has a few more years.

Delicious wine. Smelled of raisins and stewed prunes. A hint of dark cherry tobacco and an earthiness, but not like a Burgundy or a Bordeaux, not a funky forest floor earthiness, but just a raw earthy quality. Dianne described it as licorice candy, but it seemed earthy to me. Soft tannins with medium acidity and high alcohol. Wonderful to drink alongside our carbonara.

Dark fruited notes with a herbal, earthy undertone to it. Palette is muted fruit but earth note driven with a plush but efficient mouthfeel. Finish is smooth, balanced, and medium in length. Moderate legs.

Tasted after a 2 hour decant. Dark ruby in colour with intense aromas of dried/stewed fruit, chocolate & slightly herbal cured meat/game. On the palate, full bodied rich black fruit, black cherry, brown sugar, cocoa powder, potpourri, herbal, high acidity, medium soft tannins with a long finish to pepper & liquorice. The alcohol heat is very noticeable with the early aromas.
