Tasting notes
Quite ripe and almost charred on the nose. Sweet start and then it rather falls apart and lacks enough freshness. Dull finish. (JR)

This straightforward, slightly austere, dark plum-colored wine shows notes of crushed rock, red and black currants, no real evidence of oak, and a pleasant but uninspiring finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
