Deep red/purple.
Menthol, melted licorice, olive and sausage aromatics. "Thick" nose.
Great density in the mouth, grainy tannin, alcohol lowish. Nice breadth of flavor and framing acidity. This needs time to express, but everything seems to be in place for a positive cellar journey. Blackberry finish.
