Pitch black/purple. An easy drinking wine that opens up with "sweetish" (14.5% alcohol) black/red fruit on a rather syrupy/oily texture (sticky teeth) with a strong cigar box background building up leading to a medium-long finish with hints of asphalt. A bit too mellow for me, but getting better as it is left open in the glass, maybe it will improve in the future.

Has aged beautifully, well balanced. Very impressive structure. Length is short. Overall very good. Would buy again.

Very fruity. Plum, raspberry, hints of licorice. Back notes of sage and thyme. Lingering finish. Drink now.
