Very fruit-forward for an old world wine, a powerhouse. I don't think I would like it any better if I kept it for longer, so I'm happy with the choice of drinking it now. It was a little bit too chilled at first, but as it warmed in the glass the flavours did too. Dark fruits, tobacco, wet leaves, oak and herbs. Requires red meat or mature cheese to own up to it's power.

Much better than anticipated. Not too much heat. Opened up and deepened with air.

This really opened up a couple of hours after opening and aerating. Became fruity and smooth at that point.

I agree with the last guy. Lovely combination of fresh fruit but with structure.

This wine showed so well. A young baby still. Old world finish. New world fruit. A great balance.
