Deep and dark ruby red. Layered nose with spices, herbal notes and dark red berries. Heavy tannins (7/10) and medium plus bodied. A bit tight on the palate with dark berries, spices and crushed gravel. Still a baby and needs some time. Dry and long finish. Drink till 2026.

1 person found it helpfulSep 19th, 2017Bright ruby red. Started off with dark cocoa, and baking spices on the nose. Opened up with dark cherries and light pencil shavings. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Lots of cassis and dark raspberries. A little dry with a little lead. Great structure and lingering finish. Glad we have a few more in the cellar. Drink till 2026.
