  February 3, 2024 - 10 minuets from bottle uncorked: Tight and thin from, but immediately aromatic - 16.5C having quickly warmed in the glass from cellar temperature. Remainder decanted.
  
  Immediately fruit laden nose; raspberries and blackcurrant, fresh menthol, and mint. Very dry.
  
  15minuites: initial tight sharpness relaxed to dry fresh vibrant cedar with sweet mint. Mint more defined and rounded with time.
  
  Plus 90 minutes: subdued to a muted cedar and mild savoury palette. Muted minty nose.
  
  Plus 120: Combined and complete. Resolved to dry, slightly acidic, chewable mouthfeel. Earthiness, and savoury with blueberry and suggestion of light Toffee.
  
  Open and pour for enjoyable berry fruit freshness. Decant for earthy, savoury texture.
  
  Would accompany a good soft white cheese, or goat cheese. Roasted or pan prepared venison or lamb.

  June 27, 2023 - Pop and pour. Classic Bordeaux nose s of forest floor, mushroom, musty fruit.
  Right out of the bottle and a bit too cold, this is much more heavily weighted towards fruit vs structure.
  
  
  Two hrs after pulling the cork the nose is largely unchanged and the profile is still tighter and heavier than I'd have expected.
  
  As others note i see lots of nice potential here, making this very reasonable buy $28-35

  November 25, 2022 - I drank the bottle over two days. On the first day, full-bodied and powerful indeed. On day 2, it turned bitter and was not that enjoyable.
  Overall, a wine I'm glad I have tried and that I won't buy again.
