In the bouquet chocolate, dark berries, autumn forest and some celery. On the palate dark berries, herbs and spices, chocolate, good acidity and drying tannin.

Cheese, barnyard, animal fat. Morphing into leather and berry underneath, with time. Light palate up front, easy acid and balanced, soft tannins, esp. with time after opening. Will have to give this a day and try again, but pleasing transformation over a couple of hours. Nice with Manchego.

Definitely tight and band-aid on the nose. Grippy on the palate and was better after an hour in the decanter, but would probably be even more so given another 2 or 3.

Surprising tasty in light of age. Cork and wine in good shape
