Massive wine. Opaque ruby, full bodied, and tannic. The aromas evolved consistently revealing black/blue fruit, Asian spices, incense, licorice, and eventually smoked meat and olive (though you’d never mistake this for Old World). Not a style I revisit too consistently but it certainly scratched an itch tonight.

Deep garnet color with purple rim. Aroma of ripe dark fruits, spice, tea leaf, vanilla, and touch of smoke and scent of floral. Palate is surprisingly refined and smooth as opposed to bold and tannic I was expecting. Long lasting sweet spicy finish. Balanced and elegant.

Rich, dark cherry jammy wine with a back bone of dark chocolate, tobacco tannin with hints of cedar. Playing with the top of the roof of your mouth and throat. Love it.

Alcoholic aroma. Big and voluptuous in fruit and mouthfeel. Rich and intense, dense fruitiness reminiscent of plum and unripe blackberries. In saying all this, it's not jammy at all because there's very good structure to this wine. Tight upon opening, it releases its tension with more complexity, such as fresh biscuit, warm leather, mint leaf, black currant and cigar box. Lacking some depth but nice overall The mouthfeel is beautiful with firm, gripping tannins, nice acidity and leathery in texture. Really solid.
