Dark purple in color. Nose takes a while to unfold, shows intense smoky black/blue fruits, tar, incense and pine resin. Quite brawny on the palate showing broad shouldered ripe black and blue fruits, black licorice, bbq spices, medium (-) acidity, tannins still present and a long smoky finish.

Purple red in color. Expressive aromas of blackish blue berries, graphite, licorice, dark florals and spice on the note. Medium to full bodied palate has rounded out with crushed blackberries, hint of tar, medium (-) acidity, fine grainy tannins, and a strong perfume of violets and lavender on the finish.

PnP (two nights without change). Deep violet color. Nose has loads of dark fruit, licorice and floral notes. Palate has almost heavy fruit that is balanced a bit by soft tannins and some acidity, but this is on the fruit bomb side of things for my taste. High deliciousness factor, but low on elegance, complexity, finesse and food friendliness.

Dark fruit, spice and sanguine notes. Medium to full body. This is probably slightly past its peak. Drink now.
