Old leather and honeycomb, beef stock aromas; savoury palate that is dry and mellow. Rich and chewy in texture. Not a bad wine. Second bottle: slightly funkyOld leather and honeycomb, beef stock aromas; savoury palate that is dry and mellow. Rich and chewy in texture. Not a bad wine. Second bottle: slightly funky? Very tannic and a bit lean/dry. Pleasant but nothing special. Very tannic and a bit lean/dry. Pleasant but nothing special.
