  55F since acquisition on release - Clear medium crimson - blackberry black cherry kirsch and dusty earth - light satin mouthfeel - soft background tannins and acids make this a gulpably good drink at present - my 3 remaining bottles will not see much more cellar time as I think the wine is at its apogee.

  Au nez, une belle complexité avec du graphite et des fruits noirs. En bouche les tannins sont parfaitement intégrés soyeux avec une belle finale allongée.

  For the money, there's plenty of potential behind a lot of oak that needs to integrate. Time will tell. Give this at least a couple more years.

  Nose with dark fruits and morocco spices like cumin and caraway. Interesting nose. Black fruits, cassis, , leather taste. Medium length. Large bordeaux wine glass showed the wine the best. Interesting aromas and tastes in this wine. Like a mini Vega Sicilia Unico. Improved over 2 hours. Wish I had another bottle to try in 2 years.
