Sight: Dark Ruby w/ purple hues Smell: Multi-layered nose of clay pot, earl grey, mint, pipe tobacco, cigar box, cocoa, licorice, bacon fat, ginger, rosemary, clove, pencil shavings, pepper, cinnamon and prune. Palate: Still pretty young with notes of blueberry, blackberry, plum, black currant, cranberry, pomegranate, espresso and red cherry. Chewy tannins are backed by a moderate level of acidity and medium+ finish. Better to keep it for another 6 years. Cheers
