Rich, very fruity and rather complex nose full of dark sweet and sour berriness and quite integrated moderately spicy oak with hints of cinnamon and matchbox. Medium+ body, satin textured blackberry palate with steadily growing spiciness, it starts quite balanced, but finishes hot. Long, hot and slightly cloying aftertaste. Pretty close to a fruit bomb, but not without some interest. Perceptibly high in alcohol, alas.

Interesting, I would recommend a little air time, an hour or 1.5 should do. Pop and pour, an oak monster. Smoothing to taste with time, still oaky on the nose. Nice finish, a nice wine just not in the same class as Clos Apalta.
