  Med purple with a hint of red.
  
  Nose: sandalwood, pencil box, nice ripe blackberry like a sweet perfume, hint of menthol, and a bit of sage/black licorice and cinnamon.
  
  Great mouthfeel it’s kind of heavy but like low-fat milk consistency so it has a lightness to it as well. There is even a light syrup quality that really enhances mouthfeel. Not a dry wine, but there is a good amount of dryness in the finish and it has somehwhat of a light grape juice type flavor. Which makes it lean on the sweeter side, mixed berries with an emphasis on blackberry with a nice milk chocolate finish. A hint of vanilla, and some nice dark influence in the background as well, there is also some leather and a little dried tobacco. This is very impressive and approachable now for an ‘18 Bordeaux blend.
