January 8, 2014 - At first there's a lot of tobacco leaf and liniment to the aroma. As it breathes plenty of cassis fruit turns up to the party. There's some chocolate and earth development and the wine's structural elements are still supportive but gentle. It is drinking very nicely and certainly puts on a bit of pud in the glass once it takes on some air.
