Semi mature now and softer than when last drank in 2910. Similar aromas of cherries, earth and tobacco. The flavour is more rounded with good chocolatey fruit. Still needs a few more years to see secondary development.

Lovely nose straight out of the bottle, with cherries, tobacco and red fruits. The palate needs a bit of decant time, which is rewarded with a nicely balanced wine featuring dried fruits, some herbs and lively red fruits. The acidity and tannins are in place in the right quantity, and although the finish is a bit short this as far as i'm concerned is a nice bottle.

Very youthful purple colour still. Needs a 6 hour decant at present. The bouquet is the best thing about this at the moment - a lovely mix of ripe cherries, olives, chocolate and tobacco, this already has some complexity. To taste, this is very youthful and mostly dominated by kirsch flavour with a hint of chocolate. Ripe tannins, good acidity and a long finish. There is quite a bit of intensity here and a lot of potential. I'd expected it to soften and develop some complexity with time - the nose certainly suggests that. Hold for 3-5 years.

As before, would benefit from a bit more age.
