Wine of considerable age and complexity, with a rich, smooth feel that belies its rough edges. The tannins are formidable, and the freshness is sharp, but the black pepper and tobacco hints are a welcome respite. The ripe black cherry lingers in the background, a testament to the wine's potential.

Rich, medium-bodied wine with a full garnet hue, augmented by a fruity bouquet with elegant touches of leather. The palate is smooth, with silky tannins and a well-balanced structure featuring plum and coffee notes. The trail is long and satisfying, leaving a enjoyable aftertaste.

Dry, medium-bodied wine with a rich flavor profile featuring undertones of clove, oak, and cherry. while it may not be to everyone's taste, it was a decent enough option for a dinner guest.
