Revisiting this wine once back home from the winery. Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, dark cherry, blackberry, black currants, spice, tobacco, vanilla and earthiness. On the palate, full bodied, plum, currants, cherry, and anise, followed by secondary flavors of oak, blueberry, minerals, coffee, and chocolate in the finish. Tannins very strong still. Needs to decant some. Will revisit in a few hours. Same notes but fuller bodied and softer and velvety on the palate. — 14 days ago
