Translucent ruby scarlet. Nose of scintillating black and red cherry, rose petal, and faint tar. Layers of dense black plum and currant on the palate cut with asphalt and earth. Freshening acidity and firm young tannin. Hints of oak which quickly blow off. Long finish of black plum, earth, and tar. Young and accessible with air. A long, positive evolutionary road ahead.

This is drinking very well. 1 hour slow ox and then another hour in the glass before it opened up. Trademark roses and leather on the nose and good balance on the palate. I’ll be looking for more of this one.

As they say"drinking well now." Complex nose with tobacco,liccorice and a hint of sweetness. The spice persists and is joined by a hint of citrus on the finnish.

Great but needs a long decant to soften.
