Retailer tasting. 14.5% Dark ruby colour. Sweet dark fruit, blackberry, dark cherry, black currant, dark plum, coffee, spices, black pepper and vanilla, with ripe tannin, just enough acidity (or maybe not) and very good length. Creamy texture. Medium- to full-bodied and very ripe. I am not convinced that the wine has enough structure to age well. Drink young. 90(-)

Deep purple in the glass. On the nose: plum sauce, strawberry jam, cracked pepper. Warming notes. In the mouth this is spice forward with hints of juicy, dark red fruit and a bit of cocoa on the back end. 14.5 ABV, and carries a touch of heat, though completely delicious and smooth despite the spice and heat.

Beautifully crafted wine with great balance of fruit and tannins, deep ruby red, cherry and chocolate, herbs on nose also, warm lingering finish.
