Mature bordeaux with licorice, black fruit, raspberries and herbs. Simple palate with a short finish. It has a lot of rough edges and tannins. A bit over the peak. Consume asap

Maroon / purple with a slightly brick edge. Fruity nose with currants, blackberry, little bit of black licorice and little hint of something green like honeysuckle. Smells exactly like a St. Emilion should to me. Medium bodied, very well resolved. Tannins are mellow and nice acid to balance. Short finish, seems like wine has peaked and may be loosing some "oomph" but a nice accompaniment to grilled rib eye.

Fully matured now and need to drink up. A bit too oaky at the beginning but after 30 mins it starts to open up with a better balance.

Beautiful! Wonderful balance and tannins. Playfully shy flavor (baked cherries?) wth a good amount of acid.
