  May 14, 2021 - NOSE
  Intensity: medium+
  Tar, licorice, dark fruits, cherries
  Seems like it's subdued
  
  PALATE
  Body: medium (surprisingly)
  Acidity: medium+
  Intensity: medium+
  Spicy, red fruits, hint of tobacco, some kind of bitterness, herbs, tiny bit of greens.
  Feels cool in the mouth.
  Alcohol level 14.5%. Overall feeling in the mouth matches this level.
  
  TEXTURE
  Tannins: medium+
  Tannins are present, but it is comfortable and chewy.
  
  BALANCE
  Good. Nothing felt out of place. Even though the alcohol level is higher, it was quite comfortable.
  
  COMPLEXITY
  Rounder after an hour.
  Not much change on the nose and palate.
  
  FINISH
  Length: medium
  Tiny hint of vanilla, alcohol, tar.
  
  CONCLUSION
  Readiness: Drink now. But a few years in the cellar will help improve this wine.
  This was my first time drinking this label. It was not as bold, heavy and powerful as I had expected.
  This is a really good wine for daily drinking.
