Picked up at a local market for $27
90 minute decant
Opaque crimson, purple sheen
Fruit forward nose; dark fruits, anise
Quite rich, a terrific mouthful kiss of cassis, with acidity and some gumption-filled tannins, both giving the full body, long finish some satisfying ‘crunch’, offsetting the gush of fruit
A wee tad of ‘manufactured’ quality pulls this down a point or two for me
Nothing overly complex, but loads of fruit ‘kick’ w/o over ripeness
91-92 points
