This was all toasty oak on opening, a bit raw, took time for the wild, burly dark fruit to come out. Evocative and multi-dimensional, showing heaps of both fruit and savory elements and nice breadth on the mid palate. I could have done without the grainy, raspy texture however. Very nice, if a bit roasted. Decant recommended
