Dark carob pencil lead. Lean sugars but opulent glycerol. Bright acidity. Dusty tannin.

Neck fill and cork tight and sweet sounding when you pull it. You almost can tell if a bottle will be good by how the cork comes out. Juicy still with dark cranberry notes, pure of fruit and melted tannins and acid backbone. Love it as not sure how these 75's would have aged.

Wonderful complexity on the nose, the palate a little hollow but still has some good life to it. Enjoyable.

Closed and tannic even after hours of air. Tight and still. Needs time.
