  Opaque ruby colour. Forward nose of grilled peppers, savoury spices, creme de cassis, and char. Med-full bodied, dry and gripping palate; richly flavoured, chewy finish.
  4/5

  Ruby red with purple core. Aromas flow from the glass. Black cherry, black pepper, dark berries and a bit candied with maybe an element of stewed slightly jammy plums. Some coffee bean, vanilla. Flavours follow aromas but add in some cassis and a slight tartness/tanginess to the fruit element. Nicely balanced structure, maybe a bit stronger on the acidity at this point. Chalky slightly chewy tannins. Longish finish. Fruit is still primary. Sweetness to the fruit mouthfeel. Medium weight. Definitely room to grow and improve over time. Still young.
  Better on day 2 ...

  Deep ruby in the glass.
  
  Very aromatic with overwhelming sweet notes. Candied black plum and black cherry. Juiceberry candies. Some black pepper.
  
  Structured but too young. Angular acidity. Grippy tannins.
  
  Flavours show more depth than the nose. Espresso, sweet black fruit, cassis.
  
  Medium length sweet fruit finish.
  
  Drink 2023-2030

  Clear deep ruby/violet; clean medium plus nose of stewed blackberries, savoury herbs, jammy plums and vanilla; dry; high acidity; medium plus tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter; medium plus finish; drink now or in a few years; tasted blind - a little disappointing
