Tasting notes

Tight dark, purple colour. Fruity and inky nose. Quite intense. Some oak, floral high notes, even anise and minerality. Massive and concentrated wine in the mouth. Some baby-fatness from the sheer power of the fruit. Fine and deep fruitiness. Lots of inky notes, dark fruits, anise. Some oak, but well balanced. Medium acids and a quite tight finish with lots of tannins. Not the driest, but still leaving a dry aftertaste. High alcohol, but balanced by the fruit. This is a more massive win than I am used to, but it also has a lot of quality and depth in the fruit. It is indeed a great wine that is too young right now to show it's best. Give it at least another 3 years in the cellar.
