Medium to deep Ruby with aromas of fruit, spices, leather, and chocolate, rich and robust wine from a hot vintage, aged in oak for 36 months. On the palate flavors of cherry and ripe raspberry with notes of pepper, spice and earthy cacao. Long finish, nice balance with fine tannins ending with earthy spice notes. Nice!

Very underwhelmed. Developed but not complex. Alcohol a little disjointed. Not enough of the flavors I expect.

Classic. Bretts a friend here. Pristine red fruit, rose petals, tabacco, old leather, dried herbs. Silky tannins, long finish.
