Sunday, February 5, 2023 - 1st of 3. Cork perfect, visually the wine is quite youthful. Nose bursting with fruit (black currant and blackberry), a good amount of elegant oak (sweet cigar box and some subtle cedar notes). On the palate, the fruit is delicious and very full still, lasting nicely alongside the massive (but fine) tannins, and the very present acidity. The finish is moderately long and just a hair drying due to the tannins. This went beautifully with steak. It's a very lovely wine now if you don't mind some serious tannins, but it should be even better in another decade.
