As opposed to recently drank bottles this one already started having strong tertiary notes like over mature grapes. Thereby it lost its freshness, and it was also visible on the color that reminded of prunes.

Deep garnet. Pronounced. Blackberry, blackcherry, black plums, pepper, red pepper, black pepper, graphite. Hints of vanilla. Tobacco and leather. Fig. Complex. Juicy and bloody. High, ripe tannins. 14,5% abv. Full bodied. Long, spicy finish. Velvety richness.
NB A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Each variety is fermented separately in 50hl stainless steel vats, with periodic pump-overs and punch-downs for maximum extraction. Aging for 8 months in French oak barrels of 1, 2 and 3 years old; then 11 months in cement tanks.

Not sure what I was thinking with my first note in March. I’ve had this a few times since and it disappoints more every time. Overly sweet with a harsh iron note. Absolutely no possibility for a food pairing and too tart to enjoy solo. Basically it’s a mess even at the cheap price.
