Last wine for the Reserve Tasting at Waterford with Justin. Deep garnet ruby red. Layered nose starting off a bit herbal, spices, some wood notes and moving into some darker berries and earthy notes. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. A nice bit of spiciness on the palate with notes of peppercorn, dark cherries and earthy notes. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2023.
