A beefy, herb-tinged red, sporting dense layers of plum sauce, grilled fig and currant paste, stacked with notes of roased game, rosemary and hummus. the finish lingers, despite noticeable tannins.

My Review: Excellent bouquet. Strong beefy smell mixed with heavy plum notes. Medium acidity, Medium plus alcohol and tannins, with a deep complexity ranging from rosemary to leather. Long satisfying finish.
