  Has a brooding presence of power and depth. Great intensity of damson fruit, along with dried rose petals and that Barolo tar. There is also old saddle leather, a touch of balsamic and dried herbs. Mid weight, tannins and acidity provide grip and lift, beautifully balanced. Long and complex. Drinking now and over the next decade.

  Had a cold so not the most reliable TN. Decanted for 2 hours and followed for 2 more. Medium garnet with scarlet hints. Nose of tar and rose petal cut with musty earth and camphor two hours in. Layers of pure, understated plum and currant notes along with tar and balsam on the palate. Lovely acidity and relatively softened tannin. Longer finish of plum, strawberry, tar, and earth. A bit less forthcoming and concentrated than expected but that might be the URI talking. Served to M and I.
