Quite light ruby with notes of brown, seems a bit aged. The nose is also veerging on tertiary tones with tobacco, warm earth/bricks and cedar, but also with a fine and fresh chery tone. Medium to full bodied attack, sweet cherry fruit up front that soon gives way to a more heady and tannic mid palate. The dry mouthfeel weakens after a short while, lettting a fresh, almost raspberrry tone emerge on the finish. The aftertaste is long, fresh and raspberry-like. Very elegant. A fascinating wine that combines a rather brutal dryness with a fresh fruit in the aftertaste that is almost reminiscent of a good, simple burgundy. Not for cellaring, but who knows, this wine has an axcellent trackrecord for aging.

First couple hours came across a bit coarse. Softens into bright dusty cherry, a bit of spice but not very earthy.

Great stuff, needed a few hours to dispense with a slight sur maturé note. Full bodied with middle eastern spices through the long finish.
Should age well

From 375. Would rate higher but for a bit too much oak, though tastefully done.
