Ripe, creamy, partly preserved fruit on the palate, prominent vegetal aromas, loads of oak, yeasty notes, slightly sweetish and lemony notes, very creamy, but also has a noticeable acid bite, noticeable warm alcohol, hint of smoked bacon, salty traces, slightly astringent tannins, more citrus fruit, oak and alcohol on a very good finish. Becomes more harmonious with aeration, but remains a slightly rustic style.
