Intense purple. Good complexity between toasty, wood based vanilla and dark fruit/soil characteristics. Tannins are still lively and firm but with a chocolatey texture. I'd say this could go another 10 years easily.

Strong florality and mature red fruit on the nose. Palate was creamy(Malo) with a Mediterranean note mixing herbs, mocha and bing cherries an bruised red fruit. 45 second finish. Acidity is still refreshing!
