2011 Finca Constancia

Heavy spice on the nose gives way to intense black cherry and cassis flavours.  Wine is still a bit green as evidenced by the harsh tannins and lack of aroma which would lead me to the conclusion that it needs more time. Crack this red in 5 years time and drink it with a nice t-bone steak or some sharp cheeses and I imagine we’ll be discussing a completely different wine.
