Black fruit, sandal wood with licorice, cofee and red cherry notes. In the mouth, medium to full body with a nice earthiness to it. Good tannins and acidity with a beautiful structure Nice flavors at the finale of sun dried tomatoes.
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Red and black fruit in the aromas and flavors. The palate also offers coffee and chocolate with a hint of dried fruit at the finish.
