The nose alone is heavenly. Lush red fruits like you are about to bite into the sweetest, juiciest strawberry ever. But that is perfectly reigned in once tasting so it’s balanced, with smooth tannins.

Great wine. Dark. Strong blackberries currants. Strong tannins right when open. Let air for 60min and opens up well
