Fairly intense and herbaceous. Loads of tart red fruits, black peppercorn, and dried rosemary to the nose. The pallet had a little more alcoholic flare to it (though after an hour or so into the bottle, it subsided and released more rich velvety qualities) with notes of raspberry, dark chocolate, and pomme fruit to the finish. Tannins were supple, but the acid was slightly high. Makes a great wine to partner up with roast salmon, or even corned beef. Maybe try after some more bottle time.
