Even after 10+ years this is a young oak bomb. The nose is almost bordelaise with notes of stewed black fruits along with dried herbs and touches of loamy earth. The palate again shows off the oak along with firm but rounded drying tannins. Flavors of black fruits dominate the forward palate before the well integrated oak takes over along with touches of black pepper and spice. The finish continues the long, drying tannins along with gentile but very bright acidity. Lovely but easily has years to go.
