Medium ruby red. Initially aromas of leather and farmyard. Very slow to open and seriously needs 2+ hours of decanting to show its stuff. Complex nose with subtle nuances coming and going. Pretty and perfumed with plenty of tobacco. Fennel seed and dried sage in the background. Plummy fruit with red cherry emerging later. The palate really makes this wine serious. Medium in body, but packed with dry extraction that coats your entire mouth. This wine is dry and astringent with puckery acidity, but at the same time - round, and full. Finishes long with dried straw, tobacco and cardamom black tea. There's no doubt that this is old world in style - a thinker's wine made for the table.
