December 19, 2021 - Pure and opulent. I almost can not feel the high ABV (15.6%). Earthy and cedary nose. The body was quite juicy with long lasting. Not a masterpiece but a solid wine. Drink now to 2025.

I guess there is still a room for it to evolve but not much. Since the nature of this one is lacking some other elements (acid, the maturity of tannin,complexity of nose……..), it will be a clean, pure, and relatively simple wine after 10+ years.
