Some darker, burlier fruit on the nose—baked black fruit, light tar, molasses, wood, spiced red fruit—red plum tart—cinnamon. / chewy and viscous with a range of black fruit on the palate (baked, dried, desiccated, some stewed, a small amount ripe) / firm tannins / not much length, but enjoyable for what it is

Currants and some plum and black cherry, nice dark purple don’t red, great dryness, nice tannins, rustic liquorice but the muskyness isn’t too rich or deep falls with acid
