  The wine is popped and decanted for a good 3 hours before drinking. At first it is quite closed but opens up after a while. The wine pours a light reddish color with a brickish orange rim and thick long legs. On the nose, the wine consists primarily of red fruits, licorice, cigars and leather. It does lack a bit of weight and concentration. On the palate, the wine meets first with delicate streak of acidity, followed by an opulent profile of raspberries, strawberries, spice, smoke and plenty of oak. There is certainly an understated rusticity, ergo power, in the wine, most likely because of the oak used. Finish is of medium length with a distinct cut, almost like that of a razor. Tannins still a bit abrasive and I can certainly see it getting better. However, while this is charming and delicate, I find the lack of power an issue.
