Have only tried the IV and VI before so was very excited to try out the I especially since it is the only bottle I have. Color is dark ruby red with some blue or purple hues. Nose starts with dark berries and dark chocolates, as it opens up some slight greenery and espresso. Will be great with more air time, still a little tight. The palate had dark chocolate, dark berries, smooth and flows nicely together. Moderate tannins with a full body that follows through with a long lingering finish. Very well integrated with some furriness on the tongue due to tannins. Overall a great wine that I would love to try again. Has the potential to improve on day 2 or day 3.
