This is in a very good spot right now. Dark red. Earthy, dusty nose with mostly dark fruits. The palate is rich with cassis and black berries in a juicy acidity. Fine grained tannins on a dry, dusty, earthy base with a forest floor touch. Soft, spicy lingering finish with some woody spices. Tertiary notes are just appearing and this easily have another 5 years before starting to decline.

A very harmonius wine. Dark red with violet reflections. Red and black fruits, dry, dusty earth with some potpourrie on the nose. Similar palate with a juicy acidity bringing raspberries, sweet cherries and cranberries. Soft minerality, wet black tea, soft misty tannins, a touch of eucalyptus with a lingering mildly spicy finish. Well interlaced palate from the start to end.

Dark red. Moderately expressive nose with dark fruits, a touch of vanilla and sweet spices. Similar palate, a bit forward acidity, felt alcohol, mostly black fruit core which might be receding, velvety tannins. Some sweet spices, licorice and black tea notes emerge later on.
