Tasting Notes
Brilliant, rich ruby with a slight garnet rim. Opens on the nose with mature aromas of tar and licorice, some fennel seed, then also rich plums, inviting. Taut, dense tannins, still very young, mineral, lots of dark berry fruit at the end, a few years of additional ripeness would certainly not hurt.
