July 21, 2022 - A very interesting wine.
First glass 3.0, next one 3.9
Aromas are very unique: load of herbs, black pepper, toast, tabacco and long after that notes of red cherry.
Wine is big and bold. A lot of tannins from beginning to the end plus oak make it not too easy to sip. Texture is too watery.
No black friuts here! Red cherry is here, vanilla and black coffee. Pretty long finish but with oak spice and nothing else. As you see on picture JS gave to it 92 points. I'm not so sure about it.
This is challenging wine and I like challenging wines, but
...
2015 vintage
2 hours of decanting
proper food ( spicy salami and spicy cheese)
and those powerful tannins from beginning to the end kill everything else. -

February 2, 2019 - Nose is nice - a little smokey, hint of tobacco, menthol, red berries. Flavours a bit muddled but nice fruit round on the palate. Ok finish.
