Dark red colour. Fine nose with hints of dark berries, wool, anise and ink. Typical of the grape and a nose I find a bit hard to describe. Full-bodied and concentrated in the mouth. Dark berried fruit, anise, quite round and fine. A tiny touch of oak. Good acids and some tannins in the back. A bit closed fruit. Will gain with 2-3 more years of aging and will last 10. A very fine effort and greatly priced. Buy more.
