Judge 3tawny hue, prune, fig, kirsch, port, blue cheese, very developed fruit but tannins still pretty austere.
Associate JudgeDeveloped, lead, pencil shavings, garrigue... orange zest, warm currants, roast almonds, ground coffee. Searing tannins, super rustic, craving some fatty meats... Nice complexities and impressive in a rustic way
