Color of dark purple with some ruby hue. Nose is warm with plum, raisin, some wild flowers and earthy note. Taste of brave but polished tannins, chewy with good dark fruity and meaty note together, good acidity, some earthy rustic metallic note comes next. Also some tobacco leaves and a bit vanilla. Aftertaste follows similar flavors with some peppery feel, medium short. Nose fades away too quickly for me, but still offers good taste.
