The tannins are still beating down the fruit at this stage. Beautiful aromatics, stuffing for the long haul but not ready now. Hold.

More masculine, by far than the Gavarini Chiniera. Dense, savory, intense.

Waited 2 hours and tasted.tight. 2 more hours opened up but still quite tannic but delicious cherry tobacco. Some tar. Nice. Somewhat complex but felt needed more time but delicious as is.
