A good wine that improved significantly after being open for over six hours. It offers a warm bouquet of dark cherries, blackberries, ripe raspberries, night-blooming flowers, pencil lead, and a delicate hint of pickled mushrooms. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and concentrated, with dense tannins contributing to a masculine and deeply layered profile. Initially, it feels quite velvety and syrupy, but it unfolds into a substantial, weighty finish. An intriguing and somewhat contradictory wine.
