The color is a beautiful purple magenta. On the nose - blackberry-raspberry fruit, sandalwood, eucalyptus with notes of chocolate, licorice and vanilla. Wow what can you say! A rich, juicy and medium bodied smooth wine. Black fruits with blueberry dominate and just snaps from the glass blended with chocolate and licorice notes followed by a hints of bacon and espresso and a mineral black pepper long finish. You can drink this wine all night long!!

1 hour decant ( decent chunky/cloudy sediment). A majestic deep purple magenta color. On the nose: blackberry, vanilla, eucalyptus, licorice, and sandalwood. Taste: WOW! A smooth, rich, juicy, balanced medium plus body wine with black fruit mixed with some blueberries, chocolate bacon, and a black pepper mineral extra long finish. YUM! Could drink all night, but the bottle is gone.
