1 person found it helpfulFeb 13th, 2015Dark, opaque, deep ruby red and crimson. Clear. Heavy intensity in the color, compact rim, and no sediment. But this was a coravin with a 1.5 hr decant on the glass. Still a little tight, black cherry, anise and high intensity I could smell the cherries a few inches above the glass. Seems to have moderate to heavy toasting of the barrel, it is a little meaty on the palate and smokey. Moderate to full body with moderate plus tannins (7/10). A little dirty and sharp before the finish. Long lingering finish that needs some time to integrate. Life of the wine: could easily cellart for 5 to 10 years for development.
