Big and quite unbalanced. The 15.2% ABV is not well integrated. Lots of oak. The first glass is good, but difficult to finish the bottle. Will not improve with age...because it’s not balanced. Doesn’t compare well vs the excellent 2008. Won’t buy anymore.

Very young and concentrated on the nose - black berries and sage. Not heavy at all despite the 15.2% alc./vol., perfect acidity, aromas of black berries and black olives on the palate with a very good length. Drink between 2020-2030.
