The color is clear, deep ruby. The nose is clean, high intensity, dense and filled with black fruits, blue berries, chocolate and coffee notes, prunes, plums, jammy, high extraction, youthful and oaky. The wine is dry, med+ body and intensity, med alcohol (14%), palate copying the nose, high extraction wtih thick black and blue ripe berries, blackcurrat, coffee and chocolate, balanced though due to acidity, a sweet tone overall due to ripeness of fruit, med+ finish, tannins are juicy. Big and bold character rather than elegant complexity, nevertheless outstanding quality. A wine to drink as it is now or hold, but one that definately needs an apppointment to the dentist afterwards.
