Very dim nose allmost nonexisting. Some will store it for a few years and try again. Nice Taste of sweet prunes but too high alc-pct 14,5%. Drink with grilled red meat.

Decanted for an hour. This is young, way too young to be opened, but after an hour there are meaty syrah tones to dark fruits like plum, bit of cooked vegetables on the nose. On the palate, lots of dark fruit (but not sweet), some gritty tannins, quite enjoyable already now, but would certainly benefit from being chucked in the cellar for a year or three.
