  Deep garnet-colored, medium bodied, bright expressive vibrant blackberries, blueberries and plum fruits, accented by graphite and a touch of clove, hints of coffee tobacco, cigar and cedar with a savoury round finish with firm structured backbone and sturdy, fine-grain cloying tongue coating tannins that are not for the feint of heart but will impress big Bordeaux enthusiasts.

  Distinct overtones of green veggie and dried tobacco leaves with ripe blackberries, roasted cumin, wet earth and seasoned cedar on the nose. The palate is chalky and austere, tight and closed. Blackfruits, spices and minerality are hidden behind the opaque structure. This need at least two hours in the decanter for it to be slightly more approachable. Too young to taste now, try it 3 years later. 88-90 pts.
  
  Retasted in Oct 2022. A touch more vanilla oak and dark chocolate with ripe spicy fruits on the nose. Palate and texture remained the same. No change in score.

  Engaging and tasty right now, with just a touch of a savory edge to it.

  Garnet ruby. Deep lingering perfume. Plums, coffee tobacco, cigar, cedar. Savoury finish. Rounded wine. Pleasant tannins. Approachable early drinking wine.
