Dense, creamy with a compact mix of inky black & red berry fruit, pie crust, sweet iodine becoming more perfumed with air. Palate shows a touch less finesse but, fine, slightly sticky tannin, well rounded blackcurrant and sloe fruit. Modern. Sleek, bit too mouth coating on the finish

In retrospect, I guess I should have drunk an American wine on election night, but I'll justify this by saying I might decide to Spain if Trump wins. Anyway, this is pretty damn tasty. I need it tonight! Go Hillary!
