Lots of barnyard, herbal, forest floor and mushroom. This opened up quite a bit after an hour. The wine is too funky and barnyardy for my taste, although there is a nice spicy fruit push at the end. The nose is shy compared to the big bold wine.

In the nose sweet tones from ripe fruit, corral, licorice, barrique but also tones from clay, coffee and fresh meat. In the palate the ripe fruits, wet basement - nice balance. Nice wine - ready to drink now - will not be better.
