Garnet red with some bricking around the edges. Some dirty notes of the nose with a little greenery and soft dark berries in the finish. Moderate tannins (7/10) with good acidity, a little higher than expected. Mainly red berries on the palate with some savory herbs in the finish. Medium plus bodied and medium plus finish. Tastes a little older than an 09. Drink till 2018.

Nice leather and hint of Tobbaco with strong dark fruit, cherry and blueberry. 2009 in August 2016, will definitely not hold others any longer!
