September 8, 2018 - Clear, dark crimson with (still) pink rim, and very sporadic, slow-moving tears.
Clean, med intensity, with aromas of dark cherries, hawthorn, mulberries, blackberries, brewed coffee, soy-drenched shiitake mushrooms, and a hint of caramel.
Dry, med+ body, med- acidity, med+ alcohol, and jaw-dropping tannins (med+), with further tastes of blackcurrants, stewed figs, apple peel, hint of marmite, tobacco leaf and charred beef. Fantastic finish, this wine plays on the palette with its silky tannins and full intensity of flavours. Love it. -
