I very much like the nose, its animal, woody with a hint of gentle forest strawberry fruit. Looking at my previous tasting notes I also described overripe mango, which could be the rotten element of it, now rather I smell wet bark from tree and leather. So impure and so good. taste is already very fragile, but very nicely structured, with forest strawberry playing the accord and super smooth tannins. Excellent finish. 1st bottle of this wine tasted in December 2013.
