Wine Critic Review: 
Deep purple colour. Medium intensity nose from blackberries, plum, oak , some blueberry. Dry Sweetness, medium acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol and full body. Pronounced intensity palate from blackberry, pepper, oak, earthy blueberry and some spices. Long lasting finish and overall excellent quality! Even better if stored for some years i Think!(March 20222)

I get the red plum and blackberry flavors.  I also get a hint of vanilla and small notes of cocoa.  I do not get the sweet tobacco flavor, but that could be because Im not sure what 'sweet tobacco' should taste like.  I did not decant this wine as it was suggested, so next time I try it I will decant to get some more of the notes our of it.   

My Review: This wine is very dark-fruit forward, with cherry and blackberry being the most apparent fruit flavors in this wine.  It is very smooth and definitely tastes as though it should be paired with food rather than drank alone! I paired this wine with an italian creamy brisket pasta. The smoothness of this wine was enhanced by the creamy sauce and the brisket flavors were brought out phenomenally
