Interesting nose of cigar ash, sour cherries, cooked vegetal notes, wood spices and liquorice. Quite the difference in the taste...ripe berries and spices. Supple, smooth with fine tannins but present...giving an umami sensation. Showing depth and balance, it is long (dark chocolate notes) and juicy...quite savoury. Drinking well and for 2-3 more years I would think.

Big wine. Delicious! Dark fruit - blackberries, cassis - and tobacco, spices - cinnamon and cloves. Low - medium acid and very smooth tannins. For me this is not a food wine, but rather something to enjoy on it’s own. I will wait a couple of years before I open the next bottle in the hope that it develops a bit more complexity. But, it is a hope rather than a belief, I should say. Still, very enjoyable and unique wine.

Punches you in the nose.
Even before you swirl you get a full set menu of aromas. Dark fruits, smoke, oak, medicinal aromas. Earth
Tannins are still proudly present. The aftertaste comes in waves. Shoot reload shoot reload
This has a lot of life ahead
