Outstanding. Enticing nose driven by leather and tobacco, dark fruit become more noticeable with air. Velvety tannins on the palate, opulent texture but not excessive. Finish goes on for minutes. Still has many years of life ahead.

Very pale color, beautiful nose with floral, red cherry, some funkiness. Reminiscent of Frank Cornelissen. Complexity fades quickly in the glass, though. Light to medium body.
