At first I did not pick up too much from the nose. In regards to the color though there is a nice deep hue of red with a lighter burgundy rim. The palate is a different story! This damn thing cold take the paint off a house. Very full bodied with rich black fruit and oak. Lots of pepper and cedar with a pretty good amount of earth. With a aclohol percentage of 15%, this wine is a full belly sit down! Maybe the gate should be locked for a few years so this can mellow out?
