Dark purple color. Medium full body. Subtle nose of tobacco and cassis. Dark fruit, leather, tobacco flavors. Juicy and young. Slightly modern in style, but not a fruit bomb. Has mild tannins suitable for early drinking, but should develop over the next 3 years and live on for another 5 after that. Good value. 14%abv. Decant for an hour before to let the wine open up.

Full bodied wine with lots of mineral, chocolate, and tobacco/cloves hints both in the aroma and taste. The wine is still pre-mature and required some time/aerating to open up.

Improving. Medium body. Long finish. Time in the decanter helped but still quite closed up. Will wait to try again.
