Leather, soy sauce, meat juice, cherry, almond. Wow there is a lot to unpack here, almost too much! I like that the crazy funkiness that was present upon opening the bottle faded away gradually. The palate is marked by a strong acid backbone, with lots of grip and tension all along, there is a good width and cherry and raspberry notes all along, some gentle, yet drying tannins in the rear, pretty grainy, before a long finish with cherry, that leathery note that makes a come back and almost that sticky, grainy tannic layer. There is a fresher thing too in the end, almost minty, that's prompting you to grab for the bottle to pour yourself another glass right after the first one. It's very young and would benefit from a bit more time.
