Tasted over 2 hrs -med deep red no bricking -jammy juicy plum -med acidity, med/med+ weight faded straight forward plum earth, prominent med+ tannins with a faint sweet wood note on the average length finish -hearty and pleasant if not very complex, likely as good as it will get right now with the tannins almost certainly poised to outlive the fruit

Cork was in good shape. Breathing for ca 1/2 hours. Decent nose of ripe a bit developed dark fruit. Medium bodied and supple with firm tannic grip, delivering ripe blackberries with a slightly mellowed aspect and a hint of austere oak and licorice. Nice dusty kick on the finish. Not very complex. Still quite youthful but is starting to come around.

Tight, tanniny, not much fruit. Went well with salmon and horseradish sauce
