Medicinal. Sour fruit, definitely not pure. Drying out, microbial instability here.

Reserved aromas with graphite, crushed blackcurrants and Marasca cherries. The attack is supple and generous, with suave, creamy and thoroughly seamless tannins. The perky acidity adds ample verve and effectively balances the very full body. Lingers pleasantly on the finish, if not the longest in the flight.

Tastes of rotten grapes, overripe and not very clean. Hot alcohol, unbalanced.

Ripe fruit, cassis, floral, blackberries, and blueberries. Grippy tannins, with a rich body, and a good length and concentration.
