Fruity on the palate with cherries, earth, forest floor, black currents, strawberries, vanilla and licorice.
Full bodied, bold and austere.
Medium finish with Hugh, angular tannins and black pepper.
This is not easily drinkable right now. Needs 5 - 7 years of aging to become enjoyable. Has great potential to become a nice old world wine.
