- It is a wine of beautiful appearance, color dress mature and well covered with light shades of cherry development. Its primary aromas of ripe red berry fruits. The palate expands exceptionally ripe and round: warm and fleshy, long, proud finish.
My Tasting Notes
Color: Dark red and garnet color with ambering rims, clear oxidation and definitely aged
Nose: deep and smokey concentrated nose, insanely ripe fruits and cooked/candied blackberries and black currant with hints of tar, sweet coffee, toffee, and raisin with tobacco and toasted oak.
Palate:
- Tannins: 4
- Alcohol: 4
- Body: 4
- acidity: 3
Velvety and smooth with good acidity to back up the bold body. really softened tannins but they still take up a really wide portion of the mouth, even mostly detectable on the lips and gums rather than the tongue, but they're rounded out and could still use a bit more aging or should be eaten with bold red gamey meats. Concentrated black cooked fruits like blackberry, plum, prunes, and hints of fig and the slightest hint of cooked sweet red berries. It also has a toasted and deeply smoked character with notes of cassis and licorce with bell pepper and herbal spices coming in on the finish. lots of complexity.
