  Clear medium purple in the glass. Nose of dark fruits, vanilla, black pepper layering complexity already with tar and leather evolving significantly over three hours after opening. Not decanted. The palate is super smooth vibrant juicy fruit and cacao bomb with a long linear but delightful finish showing a little cigarette box to the end. Tannins well integrated. Impressive drinking. Immense restraint needed not to open a second bottle.

  Decanted three hours. Significant sediment
  
  Aromas permeated the dining room after an hour
  
  Dark and intense, tar, garrigue and black fruit, long tannins.
  
  Adaptable with, in turn, Basque chicken, goats cheese, brie and iberico
  
  Lovely, still youthful
