Slightly sour aroma. Crimson in colour. Dark berry in flavour. The fruit is somewhat anaemic. Acidity is at a goof food-friendly level but the finish is not at all smooth.
I expected more from this bottle given the vintage.

Bordeaux meets New World. Starts out with rich, ripe fruit and notes of pencil lead and oak, but then hollows out a bit on the mid-palette. The finish is a bit disjointed, with strong, almost sour acid and noticeable tannins. Hard to say if it will improve with age or not. Decent for what it is, but also way overpriced.

Definite notes of blackberry and much more balanced then the previous bottle.
