De mieux en mieux. Super dense et bien ample mais avec un éuilibre bien senti. Des prunes et des cerises avec du thym et du poivre. Les tannins sont encore charnus et la finale bien longue est sans accroc. Excellent.

Opened at 4pm Tight, dry, Decanted at 4:45, served at 6:30, Still quite tight, with strong tannin. 7pm Set aside. 10pm, became more fragrant, but still very tight and dry, tannin remains strong. Really started to come around in the last glass, the aroma and flavour finally came out from the tannin wall. This was so much younger than expected. Wish I had 3 more to watch tue progression over the next 10y

Medium garnet. Intense aromas of dark cherry, plums, chokeberry, leather. Medium+ acidity, silky tannins, some sweetness from ripe grapes. Taste of cherry, blackcurrant, spices, tobacco. Very good. At peak now.

Still young, needed a 2 hour decant before opening up optimally. Sipped over another two hours plus. Even better the second day.
Black currant, black fruit, still very fruit forward, some secondary characteristics of leather and earthiness, but not very prominent. Tannins are low to medium and acidity is medium. Very nice elegant finish.
This is entering a nice drinking window but I suspect I opened too early. I think it will be drinking better in 3-5 years.

Somewhat tight initially but after 3 hours of slowly sipping wine became friendly and a balance emerged
