Medium ruby with high viscosity (14% ABV) and slight staining. Aromas of blackberry cobbler, black plum, licorice, toasty oak, vanilla, baking spices and a touch of mint. Medium acidity coupled with medium (+) tannins and a full body lead to a delicious dark fruit melange. Nicely integrated oak adds depth and warmth whilst the tannins caress my gums with their powdery texture- a treat to drink. Medium length finish makes this a 91 point wine to enjoy till 2027. I purchased it in the UK for about $25, making it a 4 star effort. Salut….
