Fruit forward, berries with a hint of chocolate. Earthy and woody. Dry but leaning ever so slightly toward sweet.

Nice wine. Full bodied, just lacking in a good finish to be a higher mark.

Outstanding wine. Great on the pallet without being too heavy.. It's a wine which can be enjoyed all evening, but be careful it carries a naughty side at 15% abv
