April 30, 2024 - Beautifully aged with intensive fruit, herbacious secondary note, and well-absorbed tannin. After an hour this bottle is just fabulous. Simple and straightfoward yet powerful enough, and no sign of degradation at all. Wish I had this more.

April 1, 2024 - Took about 45 minutes to open. Good acidity and definitely some tannin. Rustic, earthy nose, but not funky. Would buy again.

March 29, 2024 - Just not yet ready.
Closed in the mouth, even after three hours of air. Sour cherries, which resonates well with food but not for drinking by itself. This is my second bottle - a magnum today - of this vintage in this mould.
Worst case this turns old before it gets better. Base case, this takes at least a further three years - and likely five - before it really balances out. The quality of the fruit supports this.2 people found this helpful Comment -
