Black, opaque color with a ruby ring on the edge. Cassis, black cherry, cocoa powder dominate the nose initially followed by some vegetal characteristics. A little vanilla & some alcohol. Palate is showing dark fruit and cassis with some really nice herbal characteristics. Very present & strong tannins which contribute to a coffee like aftertaste. Berry compote & black licorice on the finish. The drinking window in cellartracker said to drink it now but you could probably hold onto this for a another year.

Enjoyed with some sushi and pork fried rice. Honestly, this wine goes with everything.
