Deep purple colored with slight staining and a high viscosity (14% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of blackberry, black plum, vanilla, coffee, acai berry, mint, cedar plank and charred oak. The palate is dry with medium acidity, a full body, and medium (+) tannins. Medium (+) intensity flavors of black fruits with nicely integrated oak – giving vanilla, coffee, cedar and charred oak notes. It has a medium (+) ending that wraps the fruit and oak into a focussed finish. The tannins resolve quickly btw leaving a nice mouthfeel. I dig this $20 effort and think it’s a 92 point wine to drink till 2028. 5 stars for the price/quality ratio. Salut….
