Wonderful nose of red and black forest fruit. Animal notes as well as raw meat, spices and other complex elements. The nose behaved in a somewhat strange way. While it lasted, the nose felt quite open and forward. Deep flavors, plenty of winyness, fantastic grip and great focus.
Tannins are obvious but round as is the good acidity.
A wonderful and tasty wine in every respect. Infinitely long and reverberating aftertaste. Full bodied and well endowed. Still somewhat short of being completely harmonized, but already highly drinkable. A big wine with a lot of personality that is superbly balanced.
