This wine is quite nice, the only problem it had it was probably opened too early as the tannins were quite high and masked the remaining fruit. However I would expect them to soften within 2 to 3 years and then it would be nicely round with leather and spicy tones with cherries and blackberries fruit to underline it.
Sounds like something I would like. Do you have another bottle which we can open in a couple of years?
