The first vintage without malbec. Developed nose, some fig, almost malty, leading to discussions at the table about oxidation. But seems to become rather fresher in the glass. Very creamy initially, slowly building drive, mellow grainy tannins, the alcohol is at the upper end of the harmony window, but the fruit is much more vivid than in the aroma, powerful spicy finish with notes of herbs, chocolate and fresh roasted coffee. Dry but not a drying background.
