Dark ruby red. Some floral and dried herbs notes on the nose. Slightly savory undertones. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Not overly jammy or fruity. A little gamey to start with some black cherries and plums. Some metallic notes like iron and some brown sugar too. Long and lingering. Drink till 2028.

This is a nice bottle for the price. Not overly jammy. Rounded tannins. Black fruit. Long finish. Has some time for this one.
