Had with roasted chicken and roasted potatoes, cranberry sauce. Voluptuous deep purple/red. Mouth coating. High alcohol (14.5%). Not entirely my style, but enjoyable. Lots going on, with intense black fruits, secondary notes of tobacco, chocolate, stems. Didn't improve much as the evening went on.

Deep purple red in color. Very expressive nose of blackberry jam, scorched earth, bbq smoke, and hint of incense. Full bodied palate shows sweet and ripe black small fruits, dark olive paste, medium(-) acidity, no tannins and smoky wood and earth on the finish. Nice.

Still deep in color. Similar notes as previous tasting, blackberries, blueberries, earthiness, and leather in the nose, with a hint of floral. Medium to full bodied, nice acidity and balance and a medium to long finish.

Dark reddish purple in color. Fabulous aromas of candied black raspberries, blackberries, dark violets, coffee and hint of pepper. Medium-full bodied palate shows sweet and ripe roasted blackberries/raspberries, pepper/olive paste, medium (-) acidity, resolved tannins, perfected integrated oak and a long violet/incense scented finish. This is quite fabulous, and patience was well rewarded.
