Intense aroma, almost stings my nose! Aromas and flavors of charcoal, prune, lead, carbon paper, smoke, vanilla, and leather. Acid is med + still for this vintage, which is 10 years old right now. Tannins are suave yet the texture still has a nice hold. Pairing well with sheep’s milk cheese and wild hare paté!
