Opened with Gene and matched with a caccia stew. Dark colour, very pruney/stewed fruit to start but developed black berry, black cherry, fig, plum, toast, chocolate, spice fruitcake notes. Low-moderate acidity, full body, ample dry, bitter tannins, less oak on the palate (it's in the tannins), medium length. Quite good, not sure about the oak but loads of fruit without being over the top.

Drank with Deron. Big brawny nose of plum, ripe roasted fruits, a bit of sweet oak. A mouthful of tannins, fresh, medium body and medium length.
