Monday, February 13, 2017 - Tasted twice in 2016.
Deep garnet, not bricking yet.
Expressive nose of blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco, earth, leather.
Decanted for 1.5 hours, but tannins are still very high and almost violent. High level of acidity and blackcurrant flavour is still going strong.
After another 3 hours of aeration, tannins are mostly resolved. Complex and expressive notes of blackcurrant, cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, smoke. Long lingering finish.
No signs of aging.
