Intense. A wine built from tannin and acid. Leather + horse + chinese herbs, super savory, with just enough of a lick of framboise on the middle palate to lend it sufficient fruit generosity. Long. Great food wine.

Exotic nose. Weighty, luscious peach palate, very forward in the mouth. Some sawdust and much florals and perfume. Needs more acid, although slight bitter apricot pits provides some balance. Short, un-earth-shattering.

Base of neck fill. Cork came out in one piece but was soaked through. complex nose with spice and very volatile lift. Palate is smooth, with a nice salted caramel edge, but is not very even with a slight dip in the middle. Finishes long with a hint of licorice.
