Pop and Poured - VERY TIGHT. Needs a decant forsure. Decanted and consumed over 2 hours, and was singing.
Nose: Chalky, cherry and raspberry, leather, chocolate. Palate offererd medium plus tannins with wonderful texture, and medium plus acids.
Overall a good wine. Personally I would HOLD on this wine, it is still improving. I have a magnum that I plan to wait 5 years on based on this tasting.

Red currant, raspberries, cherries. Some light notes of oak like vanilla, chocolate a smoke. Higher acidity and astringency. Medium body and aftertaste.

Nose was filled with red and dark berries punctuated with some vanilla, spice and oak nuances in the background. Palate was still predictably tannic but texture was overall smooth and slightly grainy with gobs of fruit and spice. A very nice and overachieving chianti. Do decant if going to be consumed now.

Mooie helder rode kleur. Aardse geuren met tabac, frisse bes. Mooie zuren, lichte tannines. Mooie lange afdronk. Wij drinken binnen nu en 2 jr.
