Nose freshly open jar of Bonne Maman Strawberry jam. This tasting was over a 90 minute period. Initial front, middle & end were: Rose, eucalyptus & oak. BUT after 60 minutes; Rose blossomed to be more Blueberry, middle increases in herbaceous anise, white pepper and finish delivers lengthy leather tannins with slight hint of oak post.
Rock star after decanting and serving temp of 16C ...also needs a fatty meat or creamy cheese serving.

Absolutely stunning. It’s a tantalizing blend of ripe, velvety plums, dark cherries, espresso, dark chocolate and well balanced spices. Anise, hints of cloves, white pepper and peppercorn. Perfectly balanced with a long lasting lip smacking finish

Higher acidity and lower tannins. Bright red cherry and strawberry notes with a bit of a meaty and earthy base. Quite good!
