Deep garnet red with a super dark core. Nose was pretty mute, with only soft notes of dark prunes, dark cocoa and dust. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. A little bit of dark fruit on the attack that thinned out quickly and turned a bit prueed. A nice amount of burnt leather and bitter dark cocoa. Another unusual finish that we cannot quite put our finger on. Medium plus finish. Drink now.

Excellent structure - dark cherry, pepper, with notes of blackberry and kiwi. A great cheese companion.

Really opened up with some oxygen in a decanter. Perfect with bone-in Ribeye last night.
