Nose with black olives and briney scents, the medium palate is fully resolved and approachable, round and ripe black cherries, cold fruit, herbs, medicine, touch garrigue, smokey salty meat and hints of cocoa. Fresh acidity and integrated tannins. Very enjoyable, in lovely place now. I do not see this getting significantly better, will last, though.

- Clear, medium ruby, significant fading at rim - Elegant. Garrigue and dusty black cherry. Very meaty, kirsch and worn leather. - Lovely, integrated and lively. Smooth tannins with a fresh backbone of ripe acidity. - Flavours of kirsch and brambly, dusty black fruit. Tertiary flavours are starting to show with earthy miso. Just a hint of heat on the finish. - Good length. Drink now

When I opened the bottle it was a dissappointment. But after one hour the wine surprisingly opened up and was wonderful, but only coming to its full potential after two hours. Very good.

Terrific fruit and a bit of leather with a hint of a floral note. More on the darker fruit side.
