8.6

Medium + body, dark ruby.
Very good length, balance & complexity. Picked up notes of dark fruits, dark chocolate, leather, smoke, vanilla and vegetal.
High tannin levels but they’re smooth & rounded. I found the wine alcoholic levels too high and rendering the wine unbalanced.
Great foundations to be an outstanding wine but maybe the vintage was below average — 4 years ago
