Already slightly aged on the nose with plum, fig and cherry notes as well as herbs, milky dill oak, chocolate, earth and leather. Medium bodied with slightly grippy tannins, balancing acidity and a touch of herbaceous bitterness. Oaky and a bit hollow mid-length finish. Pretty much reminded me of Reserva Rioja. Quite oaky - but in a classic sense. The aftertaste left me wondering if this suffered from a developing case of TCA-contamination (the nose was all alright). Well, unfortunately I don't have another bottle to find it out. I'll just leave this wine with a benefit of the doubt.
