Pure, tad reductive with leesy complexity, with aeration reveals blackcurrant, blueberry and cassis, fresh, savory, firm ripe tannins, elegant depth, but not much fruit on texture as nose may suggest, black olives complexity, fine extraction, the very high alcohol of 14.31 is very well concealed, long length, need time to mesh, best revisited in 2016, will be a fine buy, and will work with a rare flamed grilled beef bisteca, now until 2018.
