  March 6, 2024 - PNP with dinner
  
  Good volume to the nose, immediate core of juicy black cherry fruit, a cool edge, perfumed forest fruits, pretty crushed blue notes, pinot sap/leaf, coal... wood.
  
  Medium-bodied, fleshy and quite open with a salty/mineral underpinning and frame. Stony earth, more cool feels.
  
  coming back: the nose is absolutely brilliant - blue/black and graphite, black raspberry. Silky and supple on the palate, juicy. ooh!
  
  On return:
  Very open nose, graphite tinged and redder. Generous, silky and bright, some pepper and earth, crushed raspberry and loganberry... so good!
  Medium bodied, a firmness but a fine frame, savoury base and broadly mineral and cool. Savoury, clean and pure.
  
  Later on:
  Woodier and spicier but fresh pour brings back the graphite and red fruits. Medium, smooth and supple, juicy and full of ripe red fruits - with some firmness here and there. Really lovely stuff.
  
  2017s are excellent. This offers great purity and was immediately expressive, developing with each sip. Brilliant bottle.
