Top Notes For

8.9

Clear, deep ruby to purple in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of black plums, blackberries, and cigar box; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of blueberries, tar, black cherries, and black cardamom with a short finish. It probably needs to breath a bit longer. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I/rate this wine as good.
