Pleasant wine, dark berry fruit with well integrated aromatics damp forest and lavender. Medium plus body, medium minus acid... Higher than expected, nice. Tannins medium plus with chalky texture. Medium length of dark chocolate and cherries.

Let it open up and breathe a bit. Hints of eucalyptus, mint black plum slight oak and super tannic. Pairing with a porter house yum
