Nose: Blueberry. Leather. Tobacco. Dates. Oak. Medium plus intensity.
Palate: Raisins. Blueberry. Leather. Raspberry. Cranberry. Sour cherry. Huge tannins, very impressive. Medium plus acidity. Dry. Medium plus body. High flavour intensity.
Finish: Long finish. Sour cherry.
The wine has big tannins for its age. It may be slightly out of balance because of this, but I thoroughly enjoyed it anyways. Delicious.

Dark color with just the faintest hint of bricking. Similar to other tasters, my bottle has remained very youthful. Iron and graphite minerality are the core of this wine. Tannins are abundant, but fine grained. A decade ahead for this wine if you wanted to wait, but a nice drink now. Drank over two days.

Nose: wooden box, earthy
Taste: delicious, ripe, cassis berry, strong hits of granites, leather, chocolate, balanced silky tannins. Med+ finishing ...
