Purple with ruby rim, clear and intense. On the nose, med. intensity, clean, and the fruit explodes.. blackcurrants, blackberries, even blueberries, some ash, grass, and saddle leather. However tannins a little overwhelming, full body, med. alcohol but as with the nose very complex. Additional tastes of licorice, black pepper. Very long finish but I don't know how much that has to do with the layers of tannins stuck to my teeth and throat! Would be nice with a massive steak or beef stew

This bottle was a bit thin and acidic.

Aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, chocolate and vanilla. Black currant, plum, licorice and smoke. A surprisingly complex and tasty wine.
