Tuesday, February 14, 2023 - Medium ruby colored with some purple notes towards the rim. In the nose ripe red and dark berries, soft tobacco and peppery notes. Blackberries, red cherries, cassis, soft menthol notes and some elegant graphite notes on the palate. Full bodied with a lively and medium intense acidity. Velvety tannins, not completely integrated yet. Very nice fruit structure. Not super complex but the overall depth is great. Feels kind of fresh although the fruit is very ripe. Very nicely balanced. The finish is long and savory.
It’s already drinkable with some time in the decanter. Allow it to breathe for at least 1-2 hours. It will definitely profit from more storage time. Drink now until 2036. (IG)
