Stewed; blackberries, black plum, dark cherries, plum, black raspberries, strawberries, mix of dry & fresh red roses, spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, caramel and vanilla on the nose. The palate is; blackberries, ripe dark cherries, cherries, strawberry shortcake, milk chocolate, caramel, dry brown earth with crushed dry rocks, tough leather, chalkiness, dry roses, dry stems, used dry coffee grounds, high acidity with a ripe, round, bright, mixed berry long finish. It's just short of peak stage. Very nice value. Puts on a lot dark cassis weight as it opens up in a longer decant.

Tobacco and dusty but very elegant wine. Drinking great - dark berry fruits.
