Pitch dark garnet with beautiful dark crimson rim. Abundant berry aromas, raspberry, blueberry pie, and secondary sweaty horse. Delightful, fulfilling and elegant on the plate, showing unmistakeable black currant flavors, blackberry, wild mushroom, hints of spearmint, also rosemary and thyme. Fine acidity that lingers passed this wine's long, dark fruit finish. Delicious green and black peppercorn sensation on the finish. Fine tobacco on the retronasal. Negre, negre. Quite dry and very fruity. Solid 89 pts.
