Prune and metallic aromas are not fully integrated and fresh but improve with airing. The palate is heavy and tannic, a touch abrasive in feel, with big berry flavors that hammer away due to fierce tannins. Comes on big with berry fruit but always feels rough.

Powerful and packed with heavy berry and plum aromas that are rustic and leathery. Tight in the mouth, with a strong tannic framework and roasted black fruit flavors with pepper on the backside. Dark and peppery on the finish. Merlot, Tannat and Cabernet.
