- Garnet color and aromas of tar, raisin and sherry and has flavours of black pepper and raisin - Got to this one too late. Not much fruit left, but should be good with biG steak BBQ.

May be getting a little past it's prime. Fruit and acid was lower than anticipated and the wine took a back seat flavor wise to the marinated flank steak it was served with. Was a pleasant experience but wasn't up to my expectations.

Beautiful bouquet with good ripe cherries, dark forest fruits, some menthol, pepper and other spices. Same on the palate with good concentration, a lot of substance, sweetness and also a lot of fresh acidity and bitterness like in black chocolate. The tannin is not really round and still offers a firm bite. Juicy and a medium long finish. While being open for some hours the wine gained in complexity. Young maturity now, but better keep it for another 4 - 5 years and more complexity will probably show.
