App: deep ruby Nose: medium plus intensity; sandalwoods, blueberry, dark plum, mint, chasu, cloves, wet leaves. It’s developing. Palate: dry, medium plus acidity, medium plus tannins, high alcohol, full body, medium flavour intensity, blueberry, mint, medium finish. Good wine. The texture of the tannins is a little coarse. The nose is complex with lovely minty and sandalwood notes, but in the palate l, I think the fruit starts to fade away. The alcohol feels a little stand-out to me particularly in the middle palate. Better drink it soon.
