Lovely and elegant at 23. Nose of leather. Clear translucence with some early browning. Refined and integrated red fruit and spice. 12% alcohol. Cork came out clean. Well stored bottle bought at auction. Drank from bottle after standing up for a week so sediment was ion the bottom.

Still packed with fruit but showing nice secondary flavors, beautiful cherry fruit with leather and mushroom. Strong acidity throughout that stands up to the fruit, really delicious. A very good wine, still alive and well.

Past its peak. Simple rustic flavors, mostly earthy and smoky with some soft lingering red fruit. Not much spice left, moderate length and intensity.
