Luxurious on the nose and the palate. Smooth, big dark fruit with a hint of smoke with well-integrated tannins and a long dry finish. Super-satisfying.

Decanted. Dark meaty aromas present with medium-plus intensity. Scents of campfire, tar and creosote, game meats, juniper, violets, and mushroom with fruit aromas of black plum and wild blackberry with ancillary notes of earth, espresso, black olive and pepper. On the palate still bright with with acidity bringing a level of freshness to the darker sauvage flavors of smoke, char grilled game meat, ash, tar, wild herbs, plum, dark forrest berries, earth, sous bios, old wood with hints of pepper, juniper and olive. The finish is unending, and pushes on for minutes with level of power and masculinity.
Overall balanced, long and sauvage. In its prime now.

Great nose, absolutely gorgeous aromas of baking spice and cherry. Lighter body with the finish ending rather abruptly.
