Very tannic and propably ages well. This is much better vintage than average, I would say that if you like this wine, you should cellar 2016, because this can only get better for the next 5-7 years. This could peak at 2030 with 90+ points value.

At first the wine was just boring black currant juice with nothing else. So I stuck the cork back and put the bottle in the fridge over night. The second day was much better, with leather and herbs. It still took some time to whirl the wine in the glass to fully open. I would say that this needs some 3-7 years of cellaring and also proper decanting, but it is more that juice concentrate if properly occidated and served with food.

This is a decent QPR wine, with good vintage. Propably does not age well, because it was quite well balances as it is right now, with little acidity.
