Nose: Dusty cedar, wet soil, dark cassis. Palate: tart red cherry, wet cedar; light mouthfeel with an underlying weightiness from old wood; threadlike tannins, green astringency, moderately low acidity.

Lovely stuff. Medium bodied and well balanced. Cassis ( blackcurrant ), black cherry, leather, cedar, cigar box, some licorice. Earthy. Good value. Recommended.

Deep, dense red colour. Blackcurrant and cassis on nose. Similar flavours with a touch of earthiness and liquorice. Slightly thin to begin with but filled out over an hour or so adding flavours of leather and tobacco. Probably worth decanting for 30 minutes or so as this stage. Enjoyable.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry. The body is medium. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.
Try again around 2018.
