Dark red color, showing only slight development on the rim. Intense aromas of ripe plums, ripe cherry, some iodine, like freshly drawn blood from a scraped knee, greenness of a tomato plant, tobacco and dried herbs. Full on the palate. Still dominated by ripe plums and cherry, with some dried notes of prunes. Long finish with more complexity, mainly from notes of tobacco and herbs. The tannins are developed and very fine. Likewise is the alcohol very well integrated. This wine has developed nicely.

Black opaque color with a thin brick red hue. Intense aromas of black currant, sweet licorice, freshly cut tobacco leaves, tea and currant liqueur. On the palate there is a similar sweetness and liqueur drive with loads of concentration and intensity. Layers of black currant, clean and ripe, with green, vegetable notes framing it. The midpalate and finish packs licorice, tobacco and a touch of vanilla. The ripeness and power is really counterbalanced by the green vegetable notes, making the overall impression balanced and with a lot of drinkability.

Dark red center with a slightly orange hue. Warm, inviting nose with dark plums, morellos, crushed stones and licorice rot. Similar taste where the warm, ripe, dark fruit dominates the attack, but quickly leaves room for the licorice, crushed stone and tobacco on the midpalate and finish. Somewhat metallic on the finish, which I can’t get my head around at the moment.
