Yep, you all were right. This needed time. Drinking well now. The tannins are well integrated and it is much drier than I expected. Not overly complex but very enjoyable.

Better than I expected. Some floral, red friut and tar on the nose. A bit tight at first with a little oak, but opened to plum and red fruits, graphite. Firm finish. Several years to go. 90 points

Nice nose, with plum and oak on the bouquet. The palette presents plum, dark cherry, slight oak and finishing long with tannins, good acidity,without being overwhelming, the tannins are not the old over the top traditionalist, but not a total fruit forward wine either, it works the way it was bottled. Color is slightly darker than expected more reminiscent of a pinot noir.

Tannins strong on pnp. cherries up front. Very pinot like. Still will benefit from additional year in cellar.
