Red fruit follows, red cassis, mulberries opens up.. Ripe dark cherry in balsamico vinegar comes along, pepper, licorice, cedar and strong vanilla taste.
Vanilla oak disappears after a while and the red cherry characteristics seem to conquer the palate, the wine shows its minerality and finesse.. ( 2h past, not decanted!)
5 months in oak; 70% french and 30% american oak as far as I know... Edit: 2013 vintage seems to have 50%/50%..anyhow! 90-91+
