Decanted for two hours. Dark red in color. Cocoa, currants, and tobacco on the nose. Velvety on the palate, black cherries, blackberries, sweet tobacco. Smooth, well-defined tannins, great acidity, lovely balance. Long finish, dark fruited changing seamlessly to red fruits at the very end. Brilliant wine.

Soft nose of red and black fruits, wet leaves, herbs, black pepper, must, tobacco leaf, earth, light wood and dark coffee.
I will admit that I was afraid to give the wine too much air. Dcanted and then returned to the bottle. It continued to get better throughout the evening. Medium plus in body, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, light oak, licorice, spices, coffee, earth, cola, light vegetables, herbs, pencil lead and peppercorn. Long finish with round tannins and dark fruits and currants. Delicious.

Slow to open up. Still good fruit and flavor.
