  Intensity medium(+). Blackberry, blackcurrant, gingerbread, pepper, bacon. Tannins high -of the kind that dries your throat. Acidity medium(-). Finish medium. Nothing to get too excited about.

  While drinking this wine, I noticed that I like more and more muscular, expressive, intense wines, with distinct acidity and grippy tannins, provided that they are beautifully balanced by the sweetness of the fruit. And here we have something like this. Great balance, harmony, pure taste. Black pepper from the first second to the last minute. Blackberry, black cherry, herbs, chocolate (?), but also raspberry, orange and vanilla.
  Endless finish.
  The smell is also lovely. Black fruits, vanilla, licorice,
  barbecue meat( no kidding!), dust, something dark and heavy... exotic spices (?)
  One more time
  Powerful
  Harmonious
  Balanced
  Unique
  Memorable
  And
  Not for everyone, that's why I completely understand relatively low score by noble members of CT.

  Popped and poured over about 30 minutes at a dinner party. Fruit is bright rather than deep - something I normally associate with cheap Rhône wines - yet it works surprisingly well in this case. There’s a hint of pepper that makes it interesting. Though no one had any trouble finishing their glass, I still suspect that this needs more age. No rating for now; 2026+ for my next bottle.
