Deep brick red with a garnet core. Lots of aged characteristics with notes of damp leaves, sour cherries, cocoa and spices. Medium tannins (5/10) and medium bodied. A bit sour on the palate with cherries and spices. Short plus finish. Drink now, past it’s prime.

2011 vintage. Quite acidic and tart. Oozing with tannins. Could be kept longer to mature. Multiple layers of taste.

Very nice - maybe one more year aging needed.
