93 Points

Sunday, April 7, 2024 - Under natural cork. Decanted off some dusty sediment and left to air for 1.5 hrs. Deep, rich and pure black currant colour. Nose is Wow! Ripe black currant, campino candy, graphite, char, other creamy black fruits, burnt bacon, and a bit of hedgerow. Smooth entry, very dry, gobs of fruit extract and glycerol, high silky tannins, highish alcohol. Beautifully balanced! Palate follows the nose with gobs of black currant and other black hedgerow berries, graphite, cedar, charcoal and minerals. A tiny bit stalky on the finish. Just lovely and should only get better with time! Easy 93 points right now!
