smoke, ash, cherry, dark plum, hints of chocolate, raisins, fairly dry, hints of cassis, and perhaps at its peak, soil and some minerals, graphite... A lot better than expected. A pleasant finish that mirrors the palate. 58+/100
Jono Beagle's hundred point scoring system.
0-29/100 not worth bothering with
30-49/100 good wine but I wouldn't buy a case
50-59/100 very good showing grape and terroir character
60-69/100 excellent example of a wine from this country/region/grape
70-85/100 one of the very best wines that the region has to offer.
86-100/100 one of the very best wines you are ever likely to drink
