Dried cherry and lacquer with licorice and floral on the nose. Ripe, full and warming palate with surprisingly approachable tannins; the grip comes through in the finish 4/5

Dark fruit and oak nose with some floral stuff happening too - quite a nice full one. Long legs. Palate mirrors the nose and provides some dark plum and dark cherry. Some good acidity and then dry on the finish, which is decent in length. It's the nose that really stands out on this to me, and seems like it could benefit from more time in the bottle.

Medium plus nose shows roses, red cherry, potpourri, forest floor, red plum, gorgeous style. Palate gives massive structure true to varietal, high tannins, high acidity, medium plus alcohol. Fruit continues pretty style with dried red fruits, fresh tar or road top in there, leather, lots of layers, still pretty young but there's great value here. Finishes very dry and medium plus length with fruit lingering nicely.

short tasting note @ l'Insieme Tour 2016: Smooth but very powerful, tart and dense, well integrated oak, classy flavors, black tea notes, slightly alcoholic on the finish though, lots of potential, no brett. - 91+ points
