Dark ruby red. Reserved ripe fruit bouquet. Quite flat after glass swirl. Blackberries, blueberries, finish drier with some traces of ripe fruit after taste. Improving by the day … by third day maturing to a fuller body of black rich plums, touch of liquorice, long finish

Dark ruby red. Reserved ripe fruit leather bouquet. Blackberries, red plums body. A few more years to tame the tannins and should be rewarding. On third day, fuller body of black plums. Tannins mellowed. Smooth finish.
