Blend: Carignane Color: Dark purple Aroma: Dark berry Taste: Reduced blackberry, clove, star anise, slight smokiness, very intense fruit after 8 years Finish: long, slightly peppery Notes: Very good with food as well as by itself With chocolate, lost some of its fruitiness but retained the spice Wish we had bought more Without looking, we gave it the same score as 1.5 years ago

This wine still has some time left in it. The color was purple/red with almost no hint of brown. The fruit was still very prominent.
