very tight and tannic

but that is far from the case here

There is good richness yet also good refinement to the generously proportioned flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the beautifully persistent finish

On the plus side the exceptionally rich and concentrated broad-shouldered flavors possess outstanding amounts of dry extract that impart a velvety texture to the plush finish that is slightly sweet due to the generous wood treatment

Not a charmer – at this stage anyway

Descendientes Jose Palacios, Faraona Vintage:2020 very tight and tannicSweet, jammy fruit and a gorgeous earth and mushroom note very much like good mature burgundy. Medium body and rich milk chocolate to finish. Really showing charming maturity and richness. Chewy texture. (RH)
