When first opened I got wonderful aromas of browned meat and leather. This has great fruit forwardness with an acidity that cuts in with impeccable timing. After decanting, it opened up and softened with scents of violet flowers growing in freshly tilled earth and pine resin in the tannic aftermath. Seriously, I'm not making this shit up.
Definitely will buy again at this price point (25 €!) and lay a few bottles down for 2-3 years where I have hi expectations that it will develop well.
