Tasting notes

Dark red colour with light purplish rim. Fruity nose of dark berries, some flowers, anise and earth. Quite powerful wine in the mouth with good concentration. Lots of fruit. Dark berries, some flowers. Qutie elegant style with fine acidity. The finish is a bit tannic and young right now. Promising.

Dark red colour. No signs of age. Nose is a bit shy. Shows some dust, anise with slight hints of flowers and a smokey minerality. With air the florality grows. Fullbodied wine in the mouth. A bit dusty style. Shows little fruit. In a phase?? Air helps it a little to shows some smoke and anise with lots of flowery notes. The wine has a fine acidity and still quite tight tannins in the end. The structure is there. But what about the fruit?? Is it fading or will it evolve to show more?? Decent wine, but I had expected more.
