Ravioles and Les Jacquines)

I really like the amount of dry extract here as it relegates the still firm tannins to the background and this should age effortlessly for years to come

A wonderfully complex earthy and spicy dark berry fruit nose leads to delicious

There is excellent volume and power

Very very sweet and powerful and alcoholic, so much so that it is quite difficult to even discern the tannins but they are there. Is this just a bit too brutal and raw? It is extremely young but it does have all the ingredients there.
