Barnyardy Brett and woody floral notes with well developed fruit profile. Still a full bodied wine with some time ahead of it.

I have been following this wine as of 2008 and it evolved beautifully getting slowly to its peak, smoother and more complex. Deep dark red, lovely complex nose of ripe black currents, coffee, spicy wood, full body with smooth tannins, deep, rich and complex, lovely supporting acidity. The finish is long and delicious. It's a great wine that evolved wonderfully and should be enjoyed now. My score 90, drink to 2017 perhaps longer (2020) if you like your wine more mature.
