The Snowden was dark ruby colored, starting to show a tinge of brownish rust color, however it didn't reveal any diminution of its bright vibrant cherry, currant and berry fruits, accented by a layer of eucalyptus before giving way to leather and earth with tones of anise on the tangy tight tannin finish.
Wine holding up well. Number two wine in a blind tasting (oldest wine in the group). Firm tannins still in the long finish. Excellent with the meal of pork tenderloin with blackberry sauce. Very enjoyable.
