Good Tannat. Super firm acid. Fruit still ripe. Blueberry, red raspberry, with racy acid. Did I say acid?

Crazy effort bordering on obsessive. 13 unlucky years and this mutant wants a fight! Alright! Let's eat some souls!! Bakers chocolate nose, rewrites chocolate to become a tannic hulk worm that burrows into your expectations of French wine. Fernet Branca on a flipping vine! Yes!!! Damn you! You are bigger! Darker!! More haunting! Black olive living inside charcoal, burnt earth, burnt rubber in a blackberry sauce! Hell. This is hate personified! A dirty monster demanding recognition from Simps beyond control!

Dark garnet with some red tones, nose is jammy plum with some earth. Very smooth with medium tannins and clear acidity but not too sharp. Very nice- can really stand up to meats and spicy foods.

(17.5/20) Красивый, насыщенный букет ароматов в котором преобладают черные ягоды, чернослив, лакрица, шоколад и бальзамик; со временем в развитии появляются грибы и табак. Высокая кислотность и интенсивные, но не вяжущие танины. Отличная концентрация во вкусе и продолжительное послевкусие. Великолепно!
