Blackberry cherry licorice, cinnamon with light black earth that paints the back palate, strawberry, raspberry, hint of vanilla barrel toast with a soft mineral finish. The 10 vintage out of 375ml.

This is in a great place right now. Lots of pepper and herbs (at least when paired with some salami) in a good way.

The 2010 is a bit more elegant than other vintages. Still needs a bit of air to settle it down.
