Tasted blind. Quite deep , almost opaque garnet , terracotta core , browning rim . Quite high toned nose , dried earth , touch of liquorice spice , meaty dark cherries , touch of coffee, menthol hints . On the palate this is quite dense and dark meaty fruits , quite sweet anis tinged dark fruits . Quite high acidity and rather gritty tannins . Slightly dried herbal finish of ok length . Quite austere and forceful in style. This did improve somewhat in the glass but never lost its slightly dusty , rustic style . For drinking now and over the next 5 years , I don’t see this improving much from here . — 3 months ago
It’s still lives! So surprised that this was still kicking, with a nice acidity and smoky meatiness on the palate, with hints of marinated cherry (in like, brandy), tar, and the color of Port! The nose still notes of fruit even, with plum, smoke, spice, and Tiva says, “an old movie theatre, or magician’s room”. After a couple hours, the ripe red fruits were exploding out of the glass still, with velvet and even florals hinted on the acidic palate. The meaty, iron flavors lingerrrr. — 2 years ago
