Leathery, will concentrated earthy smell. Definitely mature and drinking now. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are fast. There is moderate sediment in the bottle.

Nose of dark fruit, earth and leather. Muted fruit, but certainly balanced with soft tannins. 16 guests went through a magnum in short order, so it was popular with the group.

GReat wine that really developed with a little air. Rich fruit surrounded and layered with earth and chocolate notes. With time some nice leather and raspberry started to come out. 3.5/5

tar and leather nose, no tannin, very smooth- reminded me of older barolo-a pleasure with pepper/coriander grilled tuna

Leather, kirsch and a wonderfull note off sea breeze. Plenty off sweet fruit and soft tannins. Not the longest finish, but nice and mature.
