Black fruit and somewhat earthy. The tannins have softened over time but retain a good grip. This wine was just about right to enjoy now. Feels much more pedigreed than its modest price point would suggest. (Artwork by William Hawkins, one of the reference point vernacular artists).

Anise and fennel punch your nose. Slow approaching tannins but there's a smokey thing that I am not digging.
