Slow oxed for an hour. Very nice nose of black fruit, lead pencil. The palate is very big and I was surprised to find some slightly hard tannins still lingering which didn’t resolve much over the course of this tasting. This needs more time in the cellar to show its best.
Tasted out of the fridge three days later. Shows more balance and some nice leather and earth notes with the tannins moderated. I think this will improve and have a long life. I’m going to wait three to five years before trying this again.

Smooth pleasant wine, still at peak of maturity. Beautiful fruit aromas. Sweet cherry with dark chocolate, silky tannins.
