  D+0h: a tiny bit of deposit in the teafilter and a thin coating of deposit in the neck of the bottle, smells of fat blackberry, D+3h: dark as ink, on the rim purple red, in the nose blackberry, eucalyptus and some pepper, light to medium body, the 14,5 % alc. are well integrated, hardly any tanins noticeable, has a nice dash of residual sugar (which is astonishing given the high alcohol content), in the mouth blackberry and in the aftertaste blackberry and some acidity, good length (30 secs.), D+4h: now the body gets fuller and the blackberry gets more pronounced, it now reminds me of a young Bordeaux, a well-made wine, not overly complex, I think I won't buy more.
