Deep and dark ruby red. Layered nose with sage, aniseed, tons of gunpowder, olives, black cherries, and cassis. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and medium plus body. Complex palate with notes of black cherries, black currants, mocha, dark bitter cocoa and some gunpowder. Long and lingering finish. Definitely not an over alcoholic Cabernet at only 13.8% on the bottle. Drink till 2028.

Deep ruby red. A bit tight to start on the nose, with notes of black cherries, floral herbs and a bit smokey. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Palate was a bit savory with a good bit of red berries. Dark gravel in the long and lingering finish. Drink till 2028.

Deep and dark ruby red. Tons of berries on the palate; blueberries, blackberries and bramble berries. A little perfumey too. Balanced with bright acidity, moderate tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Thick palate, mixed with red and black fruits. Long and lingering finish that needs a little more time to breath. Drink till 2030
