Very animalistic on the nose at first when you pop and pour. Lots of leather and wet forest leaves too. Interesting, but this gives way to more herbaceous notes and vegetables and then more condensed black fruits. On the palette, rich and full, with ripe cherries and blackberries and good structure. Tannins are present, but very well integrated and the acidity levels keeps this wine vivid and alive. Interesting and multi-faceted wine that keeps evolving with every sip you take. Good length, but probably much better in 3-5 years time. Will revisit this wine over the next couple of days.
