Unfortunately, this wine is well and truly past its prime. There was still some nice berry and a little spice but otherwise it's all pretty flat. There is no complexity or length left.
Only drank half the bottle so will see if things improve on the second day.

Beautiful perfumed and surprisingly delicate wine. Only just opened it and haven't given it time to breath so it still needs to open up. The tannins are quite firm, as you would expect from a young wine, but still exceptional to drink. I'm sure that tomorrow morning I will feel guilty for opening it so young, but couldn't resist.
