Opened about an hour before serving. Deep garnet color with no obvious signs of age though there seems to be quite a bit of sediment. On the nose, dried dark fruits, scorched earth, spices. On the palate, dried dark fruits, old leather, earth, and spices. Tannins are all resolved now and this is gracefully on the other side of the hill yet remains full of life. What a lovely surprise considering this is the most humble label from this producer (this is “Petalos” before it was labeled as such). The first vintage ever released from this producer and it’s just lovely.
