  August 25, 2023 - Colour: intense garnet
  Nose: tertiary, developing, medium intensity. Red and black plum, mulberry, bramble, Davidsons plum. Pomegranate? Prunes. Warm earth, leather, eucalyptus leaves. Cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, cedar. Cough syrup, liquorice, tar.
  Palate: dry, medium(+) acidity, medium(+) tannins (drying and structured), high alcohol (15%), full bodied. Medium(+) length finish, pronounced intensity. Red and black plum, mulberry, bramble, Davidsons plum. Pomegranate? Prunes, warm earth, leather — but less prominent than on the nose. Eucalyptus leaves, menthol. Cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, cedar. Cough syrup, liquorice, tar.
  Conclusions: very good. Can drink now, but suited to further ageing. Very complex with lots of character — a wine one could examine for hours!
  Seal: cork

  June 19, 2023 - Dark ruby/garnet with hints of tar on the fairly subdued nose. Initial taste shows a palate dominated by fierce acidity and drying tannins with just a few hints of black fruit somewhere underneath.
  
  Decanted for 3 1/2 hours which opened it up. The high acidity and powerful tannins are still there, but are balanced out to some extent by sweet black cherry fruit with some tar and liquorice/star anise coming through.
  
  At this stage this is a bit of a beast of a wine, powerful, full-bodied and requiring suitably robust food - in our case slow cooked duck legs, which were a great match.
  
  While it is just about approachable at this stage, another 5-10 years would allow it to really settle and I'm sure it would start to develop some really interesting tertiary complexity.

  April 2, 2023 - Coravin a glass two weeks before. Opened the rest now.
  Decanted about an hour before serving, realky showing well, needs a few years to fully settle, but this is doing well.

  April 2, 2023 - Tannins prononcés, acidité élevée qui écrasent un peu la complexité du vin et ses saveurs. 3.0
