Lovely fragrance of violet, blackcurrant, and pencil shavings, with a Cabernet-like note of mint in the background. Acid-dominant palate, with strong acid, mild tannin, and restrained flavour. Notes of blackcurrant, apple, and whisky. Good with food, but rather austere on its own.

Give it air for at least an hour; very dark red; nice dark berries; dark berries and licorice, softening with air, too acidic to begin with, but with air nice notes of chocolate and tobacco, rounded and pleasant

Dark red; deep dark nose, not fruity; agreeable soft attack, quite acidic, next to no fruit, a bit burning in the aftertaste, some tannins, some dryness; somehow I think it has a lot to offer - just not now, a bit austere and unyielding, seems a bit out of balance; will time resolve?
