Top Notes For

Waaaaay too young to judge. Dark berries and tar for days. Tannins are stupid strong.

Consistent dark red color. Great blackberries, tar, mint and a very subtle oak flavors. Strong and well balanced tannins and acidity, again black fruits, redberries, still young but powerful, delicious and yet fresh.
Evolves as stays open, so a 1 hour decanter is recommended.

Pretty and floral on the front with dark currant fruit and a decent amount of tannin that gives a meaty element.
