- Make sure to warm it up from cellar temp, because its a different feeling then when its 14-16 degrees
The nose:
Blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, black cherry, leather, licorice, tobacco, oak, a green herby thing also.

Despite you have merlot, zinfandel, syrah and petit syrah it doesnt have that compact heaviness you'd might expect.
I think the moderate tannin and the sharp acidity is making the wine less fat and bold but actually brightens it up a bit.
I love the fact that a 30€ wine challenge me like this.
I've never tasted it and bought 18 bottles. Now got 17 left.
I love it, 95 points
