Written Notes

Ruby with brick rim. Some stable and dry leaf, more leather with air, darker fruits and some perfume. Very tannic, a wall of tannins, good acidity, the structure of the wine needs time, it's abit raw, but also slightly chilled quite rustic, very long length, I just hope the fruit lasts as well. Neds another five years to come round. For now. 88
