Pretty impressive! Suet & marrow with deep dark fruit. Maybe a touch too much wood.

Deep ruby with elevated bouquet of violet, herbs, anise, and dark fruit. All this carries into the palate with medium plus tannins and medium acidity. A very well -balanced wine with good length and a chewy texture. Lovely fruit. Good choice with grilled or roasted meats as well as hard cheeses with a hit if saltiness

Dry, white pepper. Not fruity at all. Hint of lavender.
