2010 vintage. Medium ruby hue. Black fruits (ripe), spice, manure, hint of coffee and earth. Complex if still fruit forward. On the palate, quite a big wine. Medium acidity, medium plus body, alcohol is on the warm side. There's some tannin here and it's fairly chunky, adding real structure to the wine. Silky and velvety. Good length. Enjoyable - lacks a little finesse at this stage. I would keep for another few years before opening.
