Black cherry and spice nose. Cherry pie with a hint of leather. Firm tannins but not dry. Still needs time

2014 was a monster decanted and by end of evening the sluttiness had faded and the cranberry raspberry fruits came alive to show so nice acidity buried in the there.

Fruit and herbs on the nose. Fun to drink this Paso wine alongside Spanish Garnacha for comparison. Fruit forward. Benefits from decanting.

Somewhat unimpressive at this moment ... alcohol bitterness playing heavy hand. Almost a bit over extracted/over ripe fruit profile. Should have consumed earlier when pretty primary notes were pronounced
