Final of 3 bottles, last had this wine 3.5 yrs ago. It is gorgeous now, showing black fruits and charcoal on the nose, with some soil or olive pit notes, smoke, incense, and a wet rocks. The palate bursts with perfectly ripened black fruits, a sweet plum flavor in the background, some mint, road tar, maybe a faint note of prunes. Quite complex and very delicious. The mouthfeel is full, with well-structured, grippy tannins, very ample acidity, with a deep perfume that lifts the palate and deftly reels-in the wine. Drink now through 2028+, lovely.

Opened three hours in advance of consumption. Dark berries on the nose. The palate was blackberry, dark cherry, tobacco , smoke and hints of spice. Finish was moderate.

Drank over two nights. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was dark berries, tobacco, smoke, hints of olives and a touch of spice leading to a moderately long finish. Served with brisket of beef and it was a good accompaniment.

Lots of color and fruit, but totally overpowered by acidity.
