Good wine. Relative lack of acid has an unbalancing effect on the wine. It makes the alcohol stand out somewhat. Still enjoyable though:)

Heavy tannins, full bodied wine. Oaky, with black currants and black berries. Eventually mellowed. Not a bad wine. Paired well with a roast.

Recommendation from the wine shop. Cork was a little dry, but lovely and smooth tannins with a slightly peppery finish.

very pleasant cherry notes,
and some oaky scent as well. packs a punch of flavours but not too heavy.
