  From a 3L bottle.
  
  Nose showed high toned red fruit, herbs, tar, graphite, and cedar. Quite aromatic and pleasant that draws you into the experience and increases the anticipation for the taste.
  
  That taste started with black cherry and plum, then red cherry and raspberry along with notes of wild strawberry emerged. Graphite and mineral melded into the fold along with herbs like sage. Finish is long and silky with minor drying tannins on the very back end.
  
  At least in this large format, the wine delivered the goods and exceeded expectations. Great stuff, this big bottle could have lasted longer, but it was still perfectly mature. I’d drink up the smaller bottles soon.

  A bit past its prime. Very earthy and leather on the nose. Scent isn’t great but fhe taste is fine.

  Decanted for over an hour. Menthol and dark cherry on the nose. Grippy tannins that smooth out nicely, followed by fruit, tobacco, spice and bitter chocolate. Medium finish. Balanced and pleasant. Very interesting. I should have bought two bottles.

  Well better than I expected to be honest. Leather, chocolate and tobacco with dark fruit on the palate. tannins rounded the wine out beautifully without overpowering in terms of structure of strength. Really well made wine.
