Dark, full bodied, brooding ox-blood. Dusty, meaty, barnyard funk, some dark fruit Dry, smooth tannins, lots of minerality, pencil led, long finish. Some red licorice hints. Tastes like the nose.
I drank this over two nights, and it was much better the second night. Fully expressive, sophisticated, and Very enjoyable. It's at its prime for sure, but allow a number of hours to decant. Well worth the wait.
