Purplish ruby red. A bit tight on the pop and pour, needed a few minutes to open up nicely. Dark nose with anise, spices, bramble berries, cherries and dark cocoa. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) with a medium body. Solid minerality on the palate with dried bramble berries, dried cherries, anise, touch of bitter cocoa and a bit woody too. Long finish and excellent value.

Price Point:

Medium purplish red. Dark spices on the nose, bitter cocoa, oak barrel, some animal nuances, light cherries, a touch smoky and crushed gravel. Tight on the tannins (6.5/10) not yet rounded. Complex palate yet tight as well with notes of raw twigs, bramble berries, anise, spices, dried cherries, a touch of alcohol and pepper. Long finish with definite potential to improve once the palate rounds out.
