A nice surprise. Bought from Tesco in the UK for 13 GBP. Appearance: deep red with a glossy richness. Smell: Wonderful notes of dark fruit, caramel, white pepper, a tiny bit of oak and spices with a rustic earthiness coming through. Taste: Good grip with tannins balancing off well with the fruit. Some vanilla notes and pencil lead, coffee and bitter chocolate. Really drinking very well now although will improve with some bottle age. Overall very good.

Medium body, bright ruby color. Intense black fruits and peppery aroma. Continues with same palate, medium long spicy finish. Balanced, ripe tannins, nice acidity. Serve 18º - 20º. Drink now and next six/eight years.

End of life. Going a bit porty and flabby. Drink soon. Not unpleasant, but nearly out of steam
