Very nice nose of black currant, smoky oak, hot gravel and mint! Medium-full bodied with flavors of granitic minerals, creosote, black current, charred oak and a bit of vanilla and dark chocolate. Great texture, with the perfect grit from the tannins, this is just excellent and fun to drink! MUCH better than expected. Drink now-2027 93

Decanted for 1.5 hours and consumed over the following two. Rich, red/violet color in the glass with floral and slight menthol aromas. Medium plus body, nicely balanced, with the fruit front and center. Flavors of cherry, herbs, blue fruit, dark chocolate and baking spice. Very appealing with a medium-long, lingering finish. Has the pedigree to age for 5 years or more but also can be enjoyed now!
