Fruits are already soft and beautiful. Black raspberries, dark cherries, hint of strawberries, star anise, burnt caramel, vanilla. Beautiful finish.

I don't know if my palate is evolving or what but this needs way more time in the bottle. After decanting for 4 hours after already opening and pouring from the bottle it started to settle down. There was one glass left 3 days later, and that finally integrated tannins with acid but lost some of its flavors.

Acid all the way with a nice plump fruity after taste. Needs more time
