Alfredo rated this wine

Tasted August 18, 2016 Brilliant, dark cherry color, tile red ring. Empyreumatic, truffle, hints of violets, smoke and blackcurrant aroma. Round, mouthful warm astringency, mild tannic attack. Ripped cherries, blackcurrants, tobacco, subtle wood taste. Very long caudalies, pleasant astringency, red fruits, blackcurrant final. IMPRESSION: This wine evolved beautifully since last tasting, 3 years ago. It looks older than its age but tastes younger. Could still improve! To drink now and in the next 5-7 years.
