hmmm. Dark purplish color. Nose is primarily licorice, dark fruits, hints of menthol and spice. Palate shows fine, but prominent tannins. Needs some time to reach its best. Medium weight, decent acids, and good fruit concentration, but has not yet rached its potential. Not bad with a steak, but will improve with time. Ptotentially a low nineties wine.
