Tasting note
Dark and warm like a spanish night glimmering red. A little spanish barnyard not as extreme as the french but with more fungy. Very herbal and berry red. Notes to leather and almonds rich and sophisticated with delightful tannins and raised by moderate spices and acidity. Great after chew plays with you a little. A smart wine that is fresh and mature but with a Denis the Menace sense of humor that keep you on your toes with a smile.
