Opened for an impromptu dinner party, no time for notes -- tar, black cherry, and a bit bitter tannic upfront, but some nice florals on the nose and also on the finish

Not much on the nose at first. A bit of light fruit like a Pinot and similar visible weight but with darker color. Surprised to have a little spice in the mid palate almost like a Rioja like condada de haza. Nice drinker all by itself.

Supple. Opened more after having been decanted for an hour or so. Not big but nuanced.

Light red brick color, pepper and figs on the nose. Medium bodied, spicy cherry fruit, finishes with lots of grip and minerals. Very distinctive.
