I promise this is the last of 17 wines I tasted at De Martino. Also, the end of reading and retyping my handwritten notes vs. copying and pasting into Delectable. Additionally, last day of slow Wi-Fi. Yeah!

On the nose; slightly sour, ripe fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, strawberries, blue hues, touch of pyrazines, vanilla and red florals.

The body is full. The tannins meaty. Dark cassis, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, strawberries, blue hues, dark cherry licorice, savory meats, smoke, dark soil, crushed rocks, loamy dry top soil, dry stems, good acidity and a nicely balanced, round finish.
