  intense oak flavours, smoke and tobacco, pepper and spices, full body, grippy and dry tannins, just started to soften. some beautiful vanilla and chocolate notes in long finish, fairly enjoyable. however, it's still very firm and tough in general, need more time to integrate.
  
  this is a muscular and monolith wine, designed for cellar, be patient, no rush in the next 5 years.

  Intense dark fruits, dark chocolate, mocha, moderate spices. Full bodied with 14.5% alc, a little disjointed between alcohol heat and bold flavours, this unbalance is not settled after half hour breathing in glass, I left half bottle over night to see how it goes. bold and monolithic style, need 5 more years to age I assume.
  
  2nd day, a little smoother, ripe tannins and jammy core, still hot in finish.
  
  BC 95, HH 94, not convinced by this bottle
