Dark ruby/purple color. Aromas and flavors of black currant, blackberry, dark cherry, mint, coffee, baking spices and dark chocolate. Nice touch of vanilla on the long lasting and savory finish. Firm tannins, mouth watering acidity and well balanced. Medium-plus body. Bright and fresh. Thank you for sharing this bottle, Ron B!
