Deep purple in color with a short purple rim, and a strong fruity nose.
Full-bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward.
Showing black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, tobacco, earth, vegetables, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Showing a harsh mouthfeel and a little hot at the back of the throat.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours of airtime.
This 6-year-old will not get any better, so it's time to drink up.
