On the nose, the wine is reminiscent of blackberries, sloes, herbs and spices. It appears very dense and concentrated.
On the palate, the Sapaio has found its center. The tannins have melted away. It is still dense and extracted with lots of dark fruit, but also has a pleasant freshness. Dark tobacco, iron and grilled herbs. Good length.

Decanted and drank over 2hrs. A wonderful bouquet, opening to well balanced, yet structured tannins and a food friendly wine that was a pleasure in every sip!

A very dark and extracted wine that needed a good 2-3 hours to show best.
