Black color. A herbal infused black plum nose. Lean, plum skin driven flavors with a bitter, tannic finish. Maybe if you let it age for several more years the tannins will settle down, but my take is the vintage was just too hot for this wine.

Better on the second day. Chocolatey, but not rich.

Tannic finish, should probably have waited a few years. Cherry on the nose. Ok wine.

Nice ruby garnet color. Good nose with notes of cherry, spice and anice. Underwhelming flavor profile and mouth feel with flavors of red fruit.

Blackberry, jam, light earth, and a hint of caramel in the nose. Dark berries on the palate, relatively tannic but with a light finish.
