Last tasted about two years and four months ago. Tannin is totally resolved and the wine is drinking soft. It has a brambly nose, blackberry, raspberry, black cherry, floral fragrance, pepper, spice and cigar box. Nicely balanced, as well as being big, rich and powerful. Decent structure. But, probably should be consumed within the next two or three years. Nice finish.

Opened slowly, but a powerful tangy zesty treat. Lingers on palate .
