Opened this one too soon. All I could taste was tannin. I’d give it 3-4 more years

Aromas of ripe red/black fruits with flavors of blackberry & plum with notes of spice, cedar & cacao smoky notes. Firm tannins, long finish ending with spicy notes. Tasting Sample.

Tasted off the bottling line at the Chateau first in 2017, and now. After a 8 hour decant is just singing. Love it.

Really bright and fresh out of bottle. Could use a few more years, but nice to try it while young.
