On opening this immediately stikes with a forward chocolate cherry and berry nose. Soft on the palate, very smooth, no tannins left and the acidity begins to crack after just a few moments in the glass. Ultimately after a a few sips, this becomes a little tired and tiring due to the lack of acidity. Decent, but probably past its peak.

Deep ruby red with aromas of earthiness, spice (black pepper), cassis, blackberry, raspberry, with some woody elements. Pretty smooth - L-M tannins, M acidity, with flavors as per the aromas. Overall a nice smooth wine that is definitely ready to drink now.

Chocolate, leather, and a slight hint of dark cherry. Still balanced, soft tannins, but fading.
