Been a bit over 4 years since I have had the. Nose is classic with tar, tobacco, ripe mid season cherries, really provocative spice notes, and some chestnut. Palate is ripe and minty with ripe but substantial tannins and not that much finesse which I hope will develop with air. Juicy and so clean but lacking some excitement.

Lovely nose. Tobacco, dried roses, chestnut, mineral, so floral, Cuban cigar, really aromatic. Just gorgeous. Elegant, juicy and complex. So fresh, refined and clean. Fantastic ripe tannins. So classic. Lovey mid season cherry fruit and spice. Great persistence of licorice and cherry. So pure.

Great color. Great nose. Sour cherry and spices. Mineral and tar. Very pretty. Very refined. Palate has lovely fruit and nice sweetness with licorice on the back end and juicy, ripe tannins. Great wine. Accessible now but will age.
