Required at least an hour to wake up and show itself. Dried herbs, dusty red cherry, blackberry, tomato, oodles of earthy sweet leathery tobacco on the nose - unfurling beautifully over the evening. The palate is big, round, grippy drying tannins, but balanced with good acidity and long finish. Still a baby.

Second time tasting this and simply gorgeous. Round dark spicy raspberry and olive tapenade, but minty fresh, even mineral, like oyster shell. Drinking very nicely right now with long finish
