Lots of dark fruits in the nose and flavor, blackberries, black currants, plums, licorice, with some tobacco and earthiness. Well balanced wine with a medium to long finish.

The wine is either going into a dumb phase or it is starting to fade. Not sure yet which. Still a very very good wine with lovely layers of black fruit but they are a bit more understated than the first bottles I've had and lacking in secondary characteristics I was hoping would emerge.

Very fruit forward, but not a fruit bomb nor jammy. Loads of blackberries with hints of red fruit, rich and lush to the core with firm but smooth tannins. Some sweet Oak with a 20 second finish.

The wine is getting better as it ages. More spice notes are coming through and the dark fruits are showing more layers of depth and length of finish.

Another wonderful bottle that opens very quickly. Loads over overripe, almost too sweet black and some red fruits. Some tobacco and leather and cedar.
