A big bold wine, not necessarily my cup of tea. In my opinion the wine is insufficiently balanced; alcohol too high in relation to the structure. The wine was (much) better on day 2
Medium ruby, with medium intensity with aroma’s of iodine, leaves, dusty cherries, coffee, cranberries. Medium- acidity with low tannins, high alcohol, full bodied and with medium intensity on the palate with cherries, leaves and on day 2 dark cherries, plum and eucalyptus. Medium+ finish

Tasted against vintage 2016, which is also full bodied. 2010 is more in balance but on the other hand had more astringent - not as warm -tannins as 2016. I liked the 2010 best, better balanced. Both bottles with ageing potential. 2016 was extremely rich but has opened now compared to July. Not in balance at the moment. Definitely full bodied with noticeable (too) high and not integrated alcohol at the moment and high warm tannins.

Medium intensity on the nose with sour cherry, plum, blackberry, earthy, sandy, black cherry. On the palate more espresso and iced coffee.
Not much going on on day 1, much better on day 3
