Balsamic savoury and earthy with plum notes. Oak influence in evidence. Palate of M intensity and weight. Surprisingly short term for a wine of this quality. I bought this at the winery - have 2 bottles left which I will drink in the next 12 months. Tried another bottle on 4th February 2018. As above with notes of Camphor/Menthol. On palate sour cherry with s hint of raisin. Fine savoury Dry tannins. Tasted another bottle 89 weeks later on 12th May 2019 with consistent notes with maybe the cherry becoming more Liqueur Cherry and touch of chocolate. Balsamic notes still to the fore.
