Crystal clear garnet, showing a little age around the edges. A nice nose lifts out of the glass: raspberry jam, leather, and some savory herbs. Full oily body, not much acid--hits me a little flabby and sweet. Strawberry jam blooms on the palate, and reserved but bitey tannins make their presence felt. Stewed fruit continues to linger, along with a grungy dryness. Not super impressed.
