I really like this! Started out a little tight and tannic but opened up after a while, cherry and plum with licorice and some leather. Long finish - had it with steak and chimichurri sauce, worked really well.

Very dark ruby. Nose of ripe plums, blackberries, ethanol (14.8%). Tastes very big and bold. It built for several seconds after it hit my palate and had a very long lovely finish. No flash in the pan this. The usual dark cherry, plum and blackberry. Also leather, tobacco, earth, pepper. It is very nice and certainly stands alone. I could see having a glass at the same time I might think of Port or Scotch. Am I the only one who thinks that?
