Medium deep , ruby centre and ruby rim . Dark blackberry , spicy tobacco , earthy currants , coffee . On the palate quite dark fruit focused , blackcurrant , blackberry , dark cherry . With time in the glass this seems to show a bit more of the earthy , tobacco notes also present on the nose. Quite high fresh acidity , slightly gritty tannins , quite good tobacco tinged finish . This is showing well now but will age well for a further decade

Pop and pour. Notes from 24 hrs open (unrefrigerated on the counter overnight). On the nose: wild strawberry, sweet tobacco, vanilla and spice. On the palate: elegant and lovely acidity with more sweet strawberry and spicy/sweet tobacco. Soft, velvety tannin on the finish. Excellent already, but will certainly improve with age.
