March 13, 2020 - Still dark brick/ruby in colour, with little bricking yet. A nice nose of red fruits, milk chocolate and a hint of menthol and cinamon. Still youthful on the full bodied palate too, with similar flavours and a smooth, velvety texture but still some nice ripe tannins lurking in the background. A blend of both old and new world, an impressive and tasty wine. Ready now but should last another 10 years (A-).
