Deep and solemn dark ruby and crimson red with pretty brilliance. You can barely see your fingers through the wine. Very pleasing and complete nose of dark cherry compote and rubarb. Great depth on this wine right away, from entrance to third quarter. Very daring blend, showing high fruit and agressive tannins. High tannins supporting a fruit bomb that takes you to a very, very long and interesting finish. Structure and fruit galore that behaves like a young australian shiraz. Take this wine to a fine barbecue, rather than a paella. A hearty stew would do this wine well too. 91 pts.
