Dark in color with mild nose of black berries. On the mid palate the wine matches the nose with some lovely rich black berries and a hint of sweetness. On the medium length finish the wine displays some smoky notes, some firm tannins, acidity and some nice lingering pepper. The black berries also hang around for a bit. The alcohol is definitely noticeable. I would give it an 88 or so. Not as fruit forward as some, not as bold as others.
