Interesting wine, upon opening on 12th Nov not very enjoyable so I will re-taste it tomorrow. Today after 24 h of airing the wine really opened up with no bad smell at all and nose combines nice fruit and animal tones, it still has quite powerful tannins so I would definitely recommend to open it in 2 years time at least.
