Deep ruby red color. Nose of peppermint and menthol, ripe aromas of prunes and dried cherries. Light perfume and rose; beautiful and alluring nose. Medium bodied, an interesting wine – if you chew on it for a minute, it becomes very astringent and lengthens the finish a bit. Otherwise, if you just sip it quick it appears much softer. The acid is pronounced, not in harmony. Finish is relatively short, all dark chocolate. Could possibly use a couple years more age to integrate.
