Deep ruby (purple highlights) Medium (+) nose of black cherry, cassis, green bell pepper, clove, vanilla, dark chocolate, espresso, leather and tobacco Dry, medium (+) acidity,, high chewy tannin, high alcohol (14.5%), full body, long finish, pronounced intensity.
Guesses: Knew it was a carmenet grape owing to green bell pepper. the color intensity and tannin with black fruit and the oak notes made me think this was a Cab Sauv.
Mistakes: Green bell pepper so powerful and the presence of that powerful espresso should have led me to Carmenere.
