Lovely on the nose with notes of eucalyptus, toasty oak, baking spices and baked black fruits. Turns a bit minerally on the palate with tea leaves, green olives and a hard metallic edge. There is a nice vein of black fruit running through the center, but the tannins seem too hard for the level of fruit. It might settle down with time, but it might not.
