Seems mature and has structured tannins. Lots of fruit, but on the warmer side. Not sure this wine will improve a lot by cellaring. Enjoyable and approchable right now and the next couple of years.

Rustic in the nose and dry and tight on the palate upon opening, so allowed it to breathe in the open bottle for hours; black cherries, honeydew melons, mints, caramel, and some roses and violets in the nose; berries, cherries, tangerines, and soft spices on the still dry, tannic, and tight palate; short finish with more dried spices and some dark cherries; overall, 88-89 points; probably still very young.
