Color is a burgundy red or Crimson but around the edges there's a rust colored halo because this is about 10 years old. We are drinking it in 2014 but it was bottled in 2004. The Aroma is a metallic one but rich iron or rusty, and something like a very dark black cherry. The flavor: it's a rich dark powerful wine with strong tannins, and The mouth feel is cool and soft; no identifiable fruit flavors on the tongue but instead tar or earthiness, with a little spiciness, and it's astringent leaving The mouth dry. Tail is dry and characterized by tannins.
