Nicely evolved with smoky sweet plums, balsamico , gingerbread and speculatius. On the palate this show generous fruit and juicy acidity, there is also nice freshness to it, yet the tannins are still quite rustic and dry. Not too long or overly complex but this is a nice wine. Great with some matured hard cheese.

I thought there was a hint of cork that overrode the finish, but not everyone at the table agreed. It was subtle but it damaged it for me. I would have liked to compare to another bottle.
