Full-bodied, very soft, long, and elegant finish. Ripe cherry and plum. Some baking spices, licorice, and a hint of cola? Smooth tannins. — 15 days ago

Developed cherry, leather, tobacco and herbal sage notes. Still holding astringency and acidity in balance,

This ages so well. A balance of mature and fresh: cigars, tomato leaf, eggplant (first time I think I ever said that!), cassis.
Finely structured tannins, the acids have mellowed a little but still very present.
Who knows how long this one could go but it's a great time to drink it now! — a month ago
