Deeply and widely concentrated blue-black core with a very slim garnet rim. Reflective surface. Complex, concentrated nose is fruit forward, very ripe, black berry, black currant, cigar box, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Full body, medium minus acid is well balanced with high alcohol (14.9%) but throws a throat warming burn. Slow to emerge but long lasting ripe tannin. Ripe aromas on the nose are confirmed on the palate with the addition is a tell tale black pepper on the lengthy finish. Amazing finesse and complexity - don't judge a wine by its Abv!
