Sunday, March 20, 2016 - Serious wine, instigating and of unmatched finesse. Initially brought red meat, bacon, mushrooms and ripe blackberry. Later on it started opening up into more complex layers such as cherry and mentholated raspberries, peppermint, rosemary, caramel and burnt peanuts, with floral nuances of acacias. Full and velvety entry on palate but rapidly becoming astringent, from front to back, revealing massive tanins, backed up by precise acidity and alcoholic punch. All this structure restrains the palate a bit, but reveals, with intensity, sweet blackberry, licorice, wet dirt and graphite, leading to a long finish, sophisticated, with tobacco, vanilla and spices. Will be huge in 3 to 4 years. 95-97
