Tasting Panel Score:88’ - "Bright purple. An aromatic nose evokes blackberry, dried flowers, dark chocolate, mint and pungent herbs. At once fleshy and nicely focused, offering flavors of dark berries and bitter chocolate supported by a firm spine of acidity. A smoky note comes up with air and lingers on the smooth, gently tannic finish. Quite Old World in style and pretty grown-up for the price."
