Quite a dark shade of purple with some slight clearing along the rim. On the nose, it’s dark dried fruits and spice—quite a lot of spice, in fact—along with earth and some meaty undertones. On the palate, showing cassis, cocoa powder, more of that spice, along with some smoke and leather. The fruit is actually somewhat on the back burner here; up front, it’s all cocoa and smoke and spice, with some rather nice mineral notes, too.

While likely still too young and a short decant, I preferred the 2018 at this time. Will have to do more research.
