  I suggested my mate to decant the wine in order to retire sediments from the bottle. He filtered the wine using a clean cloth napkin. Then what I thought it was artificial cherry aroma, chewy gum, small pharmacy, it really was industrial softener. Horrible.
  Too much tannic on the palate. At this stage, passé.
  
  Sugerí a mi colega que decantase el vino para retirar los sedimentos de la botella. Filtró el vino usando una servilleta de tela, obteniendo aromas a cereza artificial, chicle y olor de una pequeña farmacia, cuando en realidad era suavizante industrial. En este punto, para pasar.

  Colore molto intenso con unghia ancora abbastanza giovane, porpora tendente al granato.
  Naso animale, selvatico. Inizia con cuoio bagnato, carne ai ferri, sentori ematici, salsa di soia, poi alcune spezie dolci, tabacco umido, tamarindo, chinotto, carrube, sbuffi di mentolo. Bocca molto sapida, con tannini ancora tosti, acidità ancora viva, finale lungo e amaricante.
  Vino ancora piuttosto indomito, fino ad ora ha retto egregiamente il tempo, mi pare evidente che può affinare ancora qualche anno con buon profitto. Bella sorpresa, credevo di trovarlo molto più evoluto, se ne avessi un'altra bottiglia la berrei tra 3/4 anni.

  I think that this bottle was at the tipping point before imminent break-up. Its nose and quite full bodied palate were very evolved, rich and very expressive with complex aromas of anise, tar and liquorice as well as residual mature fruit but there was a hint of stewed cabbage which is a bad sign though by no means assertive enough yet to spoil enjoyment.
