Some fruit and some alcohol on the nose. Lots of cherry on the tip of the tongue. Almost, syrupy, but not quite. Some acid tartness towards the back along with some slightly bitter olive hits. Very little tannin sturdiness. An easy wine to drink, but, really, not much other satisfaction.

Very dark ruby color; tart plum, black currant, cedar nose; rich, medium bodied, ripe black currant, coffee, ripe berry palate with sweet tannins; medium-plus finish (15% alcohol; 30% new French oak; pH 3.7, TA 5.3)
