Medium light ruby quite wide light ruby rim .  This has a slightly smudged nose , slightly dried fruits and spice hints, black tea , quite ripe without a lot of freshness or character, a bit volatile as well .   On the palate this is better , with a touch of toasty red cherry , liquorice , rounded mouthfeel and balanced acidity , slightly high alcohol .  Finishes a bit quick , with a touch of black tea , dried cherry and herbs .  Drink now and over the next 5 years or so  , I was expecting a bit more from this , pretty simple and basic .
