Needs some time to settle down as there's a little heat on the finish (14%). A lot of fruit with beef juice on the nose. Dark and blue fruits, polished tannins. Grape (!) notes as well along plum. Shows some red fruits, mainly strawberry, with air. Hint of chocolate. A little straightforward but enjoyable, even with that touch of heat.

my wife, with a fantastic palate, thinks it's too juicy. I see what she means. A bit modern and flabby.

Consistent with previous notes. Smoother and less aggressive than previous bottle.
