Pronounced nose with liquored cherries, meat and herbs. Juicy cherries burst in your mouth with a pang of alcohol and acidity hits. Spices and herbs mix with a bit of meat. Tannins start to build after a while, which is welcoming to add some structure.

Underbrush, licorice, red raspberry, cracked pepper, with caramel and dried floral highlights. Balanced and smooth with plush dark red bordering on black fruits. Good length. Classic. Drink or hold.

A but astringent and awkward on opening but the promise is there. Good acidity and fruit balanced by minerality and floral elements. After an hour it’s still not quite ready but is showing more of its full potential. I’ll need to wait a few years before opening another of these. I suspect this will be singing after a day or two being opened.
