A dark wine that opens with earthy aromas of wild forest berries, grilled meat, and anise and other herbs, and turns fruity and earthy in the mouth. It is very dry, with rich currant and berry flavors, and a rich overlay of oak.

Olives, oak, cassis and cocoa star in the aroma. Turns a bit tough in the mouth, with cherry, blackberry and earthy flavors. The tannins and sweet fruit in the finish suggest age worthiness. Important to decant well in advance if you drink it now.
