So good and typical. Previous notes from earlier this year apply.

Easy-going nose shows some crisp, pure cherry and quite a bit of high-toned stony minerals. There’s also a candied aspect to the fruit and a bit of spice. On the palate it’s soft and flowing. Not a lot of concentration but nice balance and a very friendly personality. Drink with pleasure over the next year or two.

Nice smooth black cherry front. Sneaky blueberry sliding in underneath. Light leather but not the boot. More like the bridle. Very nice mid- pallet with a flower touch. Dark in color but light in mouthfeel. Would be a Desert winner but dry enough to be a single sipper. Nice! Great with chocolate!

Аромат леденцово-ягодный, табачный, с нотами теплого подлеска и замши. Тело умеренно плотное, вкус интенсивный, более пряный и табачный, с заметным алкоголем и суховатыми танинами. В целом совсем неплохо. 15.5/20 (86/100)

Kind of smoky subtleness I’m the nose. A little “paint” smell. Pretty dry. Acidic and tannic, but not bad. It’s a solid Chianti.
