Tasting Note:March 04, 2017

Medium ruby red. Really odd attack on the nose with a touch of ketchup. Followed with some more normal characteristics of cassis, and a touch of dark berries. A lot smoother than expected. Layers of dark baking spices, light dark cocoa and cinnamon. Moderate tannins (5/10) and pretty dry. Medium bodied and medium finish.
