Deep, dark purple yet a bright magenta around the edges. The aromas leap out of the glass and are of currant, sandalwood, earth and a beef note note lurking in the background.
Comes alive with some aeration. Medium to full bodied. Notes of vanilla and clove framed by black pepper.
A truly gorgeous wine.

Seems a little restrained, holding body and flavor but not demonstrative in any way; smooth, decent finish, tannin minimal

Notes inline with previous bottle.
This has a long life ahead of it.
Recommended drinking 2016-2027.

Dark ruby color. Deep black fruit taste. Complex, deep flavor. Decanting via aerator or 1.5 hours. Wonderful with or without food.
