Vinonotebook: "Some reductive meaty notes that blow off before Belgian Chocolate over raspberry and red licorice. Earthy tar and smoky mulberry and plum fruit too. Eschews the big Rioja cola/vanilla oak dominant style for more subtle French oak cedar. Smoky and chocolatey, it carries a suave flair, yet with full structure under the earthiness and herb spice. The tannins pliable and toothsome indicating some time laying down isn’t going to damage its appeal."
