Dark, somewhat angry upon opening. This savory bruiser gave nothing more than garrigue, roasted herbs, black rocks only to open up to deep black/blue fruit, black licorice, olive, ash, and savoriness after a decant. Great freshness despite age, going strong and holding well. From mag.

Savory, meaty but core of black plums. Muscular and complex.

Ripe blackberries with a savory, gamely finish. Refined rusticity.
