Wonderful to smell with loads of black and red fruits highlighted by wooded aromas of cedar, oak, toasty vanilla. Dimensional touches of mint, tobacco, plum, mushroom, sweet strawberry, hints of roses were also found. The aftertastes are tightly wound with bold tannins. Aromas of game, leather and dill open to dark plum and licorice flavors and a dense feel on the palate.
Moderate tannins show up on the long finish, accompanied by lots of toasty oak and licorice notes.
Lovely red fruits. Moderate intensity and concentration. Fairly high acidity, little oak, fairly soft. Very pleasant wine. Well balanced and structured with good acidity, it will be much better in three years when it will have opened and developed greater depth.
