Pnp since the tannins are soft enough. On the nose, there is cassis, violet and plum. On the palate, there is nice freshness which highlights some red fruits notes.

Wow what a stunner! As soon as the bottle is opened, the aromas fill the room. On the nose, there is very ripe, but not cooked, blackberry, wild strawberry, cedar, eucalyptus and some smoke. The palate is complex with layers upon layers of dark fruits, cassia bark, tobacco. There is enough acidity so that it doesn't feel heavy. The finish was long. Really drinking well now. I can't imagine any further improvement with time.

Decanted for 2 hours. On the nose, aromas of blueberry, violet, ash, fresh figs. On the palate, the tannins are well integrated and it's elegant. There is some smokiness at the end. Still has a few years before reaching its peak.
