Color of dark red, thick, almost like dry blood, with bright purple on the rim. Nose of sweet dark fruits, raisin, spice, green pepper, dried strawberries, and the nose is plenty. Tasty! Bold tannins balanced by sweetness, oak, mineral, milk chocolate, vanilla, and dark fruits. Aftertaste shows some zest, oak, mineral like graphite, warmth of alcohol, and some more tannins. Nice one.

Very good! Decanted for 90 minutes. Black cherry, blackberries, Forrest floor, and a bit of cocoa. Needs more time, I'd wait a few years before revisiting.
