2011 vintage. Medium ruby with some browning around the rim. Medium plus concentration of dark plum, cedar and smoke. Nutmeg and dried fruit profile - dark chocolate. Vanilla essence from the oak. On the palate, medium acidity, full body, high alcohol, medium tannins - ripe. Fairly concentrated and a little unbalanced. Medium plus finish. Very ripe and silky wine. Never had a wine from this region before. Not bad. Drink now until 2023.
