Dark burgundy color with light translucence. Nose pungent, initially strong gamy flavor, with time more dark fruits and hint of marzipan, a bit hot. Palate silky and full bodied, raspberry brightness with strong herbal flavor. Definitely ripe and reflects the vintage but has good depth, decent QPR at just about $30. Pairs well with grilled steak surprisingly. Would like to see this with more time, and in a more classic vintage
