Friday, August 11, 2023 - Decanted 2hrs and tasted throuyghout.
Initial: little red fruit at first, mostly salted butter, some dates and leather. Little strawberry and licorice.
After leaving it decnated it gave a strawberry jam and strong licorice on the nose, medium long finish with strawberry jam, anise, tobacco box, cedar and undertone of sour cherry.
Tannins harmonized a bit through the evening, strong acidity still.
I got a feeling of between a Bordeaux cab-dominated cedar/spice, Rioja's butter and sour cherry and some strawberry and anise of the nebbiolo.
If you open it, decant 2 hrs and it brings wonders. Otherwise a bit one-sided.
