Last of the three blind tasted red this evening. Definitely showed as the youngest of the group. Deep garnet red. Nose was caked in dark fruits and spices with a touch of anise and heat. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Well integrated flavors with black berries, cinnamon and spices all mixed together. A touch dry on the long finish.
