  Entered its first level of maturity.
  Pretty dark and spicy, black olives, black pepper and divinely kirsch liquor and a potpourri of black fruits.
  Tannins on a good way to perfect sweetness, right now the wine profits greatly of a 2 hr decant.
  I freakin like this wine.
  Drink 1 now, another one in about 3-4 years, the wine will definitely improve.

  The nose is really rich. Dark mature fruit, candy like blackcurrant, licorice and hint of eucalyptus. Good earthiness and hint of smoke with well integrated oak.
  
  The mouthfeel is very soft. Plenty of figs and mature dark berries without jammy nuances. Licorice, vanilla, milk chocolate. The tannins are quite strong, modest acidity.
  
  Oak and slightly bitter tannins dominate the aftertaste witch is quite modest and short.
  
  Rich and generous. The wine is likely to evolve but it is already very approachable. More acidity would give a good posture to the so rich and generous overall taste.
