  Really good, authentic wine. Very prominent saddle, roses, and funk. Only knock is the oak was a bit strong.

  3 hour decant. Pitch black body with purple hints. Small, even legs. Nose has chocolate, blueberry, plum, and oak (wine is aged in french and slovenian). Palate is dense with chocolate, blueberry, iron, anise and tar. Assertive, grippy tannins. Finish is long but lacking complexity and flavors start to seem disjointed. Food helps with the finish

  Sour cherries / raspberries with a leathery smokey finish. Delicious very food friendly wine.

  For some reason this bottle did not do it for me, the oakiness of it did not sit well with the fruit and I found it very off balance.
