  March 24, 2020 - Closed out of bottle, better after Decanted for two hours. Very oaky nose. Allspice, vanilla, plum and an interesting, earthy/vegetal funk. Medium acid, medium tannins are not quite a perfect balance for the high, hot alcohol. Palate matches the nose.. plum, very spicy and vanilla.

  December 9, 2014 - The wine is clear and bright with a medium ruby colour. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of oak (cedar, clove, vanilla) and dark fruits (dark cherries, dark plums). The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium(-) acidity. It has medium fine-grained tannins and a high alcohol. It has a medium(+) body and medium(+) intensity flavours of oak (cedar, clove, vanilla) and dark fruits (dark cherries, dark plums). The finish is medium(+).
  
  It is a good quality wine. It has enough fruit concentration and the finish is persistent enough. On the other hand it lacks some acidity to balance the fruit, alcohol and tannins, the alcohol itself is out of balance with the rest of structural elements too.
  
  Can drink now, but it has some tannic structure and fruit concentration to develop some tertiary aromas over the next 3-5 years.
