My Tasting Notes
Color: Very deep concentrated violet with red hues. It looks powerful and big
Nose: Really concentrated dark berries and fruits like plum, black berry and cassis with a hint of leather and game and tobacco. It has a vegetal side to it too of maybe herbal spice or bell peppers. It's a deep and bright nose and pops out of the glass.
Palate:
- Body: 4
- Alcohol: 4
- Tannin: 4
- Acidity: 3
This is a huge mouth full with really good structure and balance. It has a really firm and grippy but softened tannic backbone that gives the wine structure and aging potential along with a good level of acidity and strong alcohol. The flavors are concentrated and big but have a soft side to them from the merlot. It has deep blackberry and cassis flavors with ripe juicy plums with a smoked overtone of cigar box and bell peppers on the finish. It's good but the tannins take up a lot of the mouth, so I'd probably wait a few years to drink this.
