Deep ruby velvet hue. Creamy, meaty nose with black raspberries, red cherries, caramel, bitter almonds, spicebox and a distant campfire. Round and silky taste, integrated acidity, ripe fruits, viscous mouthfeel. Good length with some oak bitterness in the aftertaste. Still young, but accessible and very enjoyable. It will definitely get even better in five years time, but will it have the lifespan of the -78? Hard to imagine...
