Tuesday, March 19, 2013 - Medium-deep garnet red, young.
Nose: red and dark berries, intense, ripe. It has spices too: tobacco leaves, licorice, fennel. It kept changing over two days, and was always fine and interesting.
Palate: ripe red fruit, spices, earthy notes. Intense and fresh. Strong and very fine-grained tannins. Powerful but never tiring. Very fine, very enjoyable.
It's very good now, but it will be interesting to follow it over the next ten years or so.
