Super dark ruby red with garnet too. Restrained nose with anise, spices, raspberries, earthiness, and dried cherries. Heavy tannins (7/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Layered with dark cocoa, spices, cherries, and black currants. Very dry and long finish. Looking forward to trying tomorrow. Drink till 2028. (91+)

Still a baby... tannic beast that will do well to set down for sometime. Fruit began to show in the final sips.
