Deep ruby colored, with medium viscosity (14.3% ABV).  The nose has medium intensity aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, smoke, licorice, vanilla, spice box, and a medicinal note.  The palate is dry, with medium (-) acidity, a medium body, and medium tannins that are slightly green and edgy.  Medium intensity flavors match the aromas except the medicinal note.  The fruit is ripe but not overly so, the tannins are still young and hit my gums aggressively.  The finish is medium in length.  Overall, not a bad drop, just not my favorite.  It gets 89 points from me and for the $20 fee it gets 4 stars.  Drink till 2030.   Salut….
