Decanted, tasted double blind. Needed a bit of air to get going. A garnet red wine with a hint of browning on the edges. Quite a bit of vanillary oak on the nose, red berries, quite elegant. Some tannins, red berries on the palate, not a very strong wine, but quite enjoyable.
Decanted, tasted double blind. A very dark purple wine. Lots of vanillary oak, lots of cassis, very expressive and fruity on the nose. A very young wine on the palate, lots of fruit, lots of tannins, not sweet, enjoyable. Definitely old world in style.
