March 14, 2016 - Smooth blackberry and mulberry, hint of smokey roasted meat fat and powdered coco , tobacco , polished leather finish.
Easy delicious drinking,consistent, still has some time left !
Adequate decanting and breathing is a must with this wine, it took five hours just to open up.
Delicious ! -
