Ink, charcoal, oak, blood, treebark, aceto balsamico, faded fruit. Lots of structure, noticeable bitterness and acidity as well. Still enjoyable. Good, not great (anymore).

One grape - two expressions @ my place (Netherlands): Huge, concentrated, ball-breaker of a wine. Smelly barnyard, inky minerality, graphite, licorice, cassis, pencil shavings. Enormous length. An impressive, rough-and-tumble kind of wine which combines a hefty, tannic structure with lots of depth and complexity. I just pray there's some fruit and freshness left when - in a couple of years time - this structure opens up to reveal its inner beauty... For now, 18(+)/20
