Dark ruby red color. Smoky aromas of red berry/cherry fruit, rose petals, exotic spices, garrigue and violets. Plush red cherry fruit on the palate with additional notes of fresh herbs, black licorice, dried mushrooms and earth. Difinitive bit of black pepper spice on the long and lingering finish. Medium-plus body with noticeable (but not overwhelming) tight tannins. 15% Alcohol. Powerful. Probably needs a bit more bottle age, but certainly well crafted.

Cardamom and nettles on the nose. Black raspberries on the front. It has medium tannic structure — that unfortunately isn’t bold enough to hold the disparate elements of this wine together. Lots of astringency on the finish that softens on the far back of the palate. I’m going to let this open up for an hour to see if it improves. After an hour and a half breathing, this wine loses its rough edges, but it also loses some of its unique qualities. I’ll leave my rating at 8.7. Not a bad tipple, but not a great tipple, either.
