Balanced and refined and as expected. Nice black fruit, not too much.

Appearance: clear, pale, ruby.
Nose: clean, light, red fruit (plums), light oak (clove).
Palate: dry, medium acid, high tannins, medium body, again red fruits, but with punchier and rawer spices - green pepper, medium finish.
Quality: Very good. Nice balance between tannins and body, good length for pairing with food or to drink on its own, intensity is subtle but present, and complexity is evident but not overdone.

This was after half an hour of breathing.

Really nice. Let it breathe a long while. Smacking good with dry, aged leather, dark prune, and roasted cherry on the palate.
