Dark rust red in color. Unlegant smell of alcohol in the nose, further there are perfume, tar and floral tones. Dries very much even after hours in the wide decanter. Little fruit, but the wine is rich / powerful.

Quite dense, with aromas of cedar, raspberry, and a strong oak presence. Lots of blackberry on the palate, along with enough fine tannin to chew on, literally. Would like to try in another year or two to let some of the tannin fall out.

16 years old. Opened one hour before but needed 2 hours or more to properly open up. Very tasty, medium body.

Needs at least another year. Opened for two hours prior. Still tight.
