Dark in the glass, darker than I would have thought. The nose is intense with grilled meat, olives and dark fruits. Wrapped up nicely by a bit of camphor. The palate has a some black pepper, more meat, and brither fruit than the nose with a great dash of acid. Thick but dusty texture. Long finish with nice sweet tannins. Nice bottle of wine, but needs a lot of air to soften up…off the bat the nose was almost stewy.
