Slightly opaque ruby with soft transparency. Medium to full intensity aromas of black truffles and dirt covered raspberries and red licorice; quite sensational. Very decisive entrance of wild berries, eucaliptus, sage and pomegranate jam flavors. This wine is quite young. Its tannis show off to some degree in the third quarter, sharing its space with the wine's very delicious acidity. Not too polished, but not offensive at all. In fact, quite fun and entertaining. However, the best of this wine is its endless and very seductive finish of sensational red cherry infused tobacco leaf, and grainy texture. Quite dry!! Cellar this wine for another 8 to 10 years. 93 pts.
