This is a dark wine. Deep jeweled ruby and huge legs. The nose is expectedly fruit forward with a brambly mix of dark and red fruits, vanilla, chocolate, nutmeg and licorice. The palate is mui grande and a bit overextracted to my taste, more gobs of every fruit, vanilla and sweet chocolate. Very well made in its style. 90 pts for me, much much more if you like this style.

Hot and with very rough edges. Fruit was overpowered by the alcohol, tannins and oak.

The fruit was nice up front, but seemed to fade later.
