Bottle open 09.20 tasted 11.20
Showing evolution in both color and nose.
Dry red fruit, earthy, smoked paprika spice notes, some olive notes, sweet old oak notes, lean in general.
Palate following the pattern of the nose, lean, dry red fruit, spice notes, a touch astringent, earthy, lacking finesse, med body, short to med finish, drink up. -
