Aromas of blackberries and cocoa waft up on the nose. Huge, ripe black fruits lead on the palate, black currant, plums, and elderberry, with milk chocolate and espresso adding depth on the mid-palate. Tannins are grippy. This requires red meat and fat - try it with lamb chops with béarnaise

The nose smells like a fine chocolate bar with black cherries. Darker fruit, blueberries and boysenberries, show on the palate, joined by vanilla and rose petals. Mint and tobacco leaf show on the mid-palate. Tannins are a bit rigid in this young wine. Drink with a good burger with onion

Plums and brambles show on the nose. The palate brings plums, black currant, and chocolate covered cherries, with dust and leather in the background. Tannins are smooth, barely dusty and well integrated. Drink with ropa vieja. Recommended. 89 points.

The nose is fabulous, sending aromas of sweet black fruits, mocha, and herbs out of the glass. Blackberry, plums, and boysenberry explode on the palate, carried along by rich mocha, hints of herbs, and velvety tannins. Drink with dry-aged Strip with shallot butter. Very Highly Recommended. 95 points. DBH WHO:
