Online Tasting Note for reference:

Nose

Dry red wine with notes of oak, red currant and carambola. Becomes a little sweeter over time with more intense fruit notes to which cherry and strawberry are added.

Palate

Smooth and fruity, with not quite ripe blackberries, black cherries and dark currants. Overall darker, more intensely fruity than on the nose. Complemented by milk chocolate towards the end.

Finish

Medium length. The chocolate is pushed out by the fruits, which are becoming even darker, and the wine barrel is particularly evident on the finish with light tannins.
