Decanted 60min. Fresh and elegant. Floral nose, blackberry blueberry and black pepper on the palate. Smooth, fine tannins. Excellent now, but I think this will evolve nicely in bottle to reveal more tertiary flavours.

Decanted 80 minutes. Garnet red, with much less bricking than one might expect. Nose of leather, cured meat, forest floor and dried flowers. Sweet cherry and juicy (not jammy!) blackberry on the palate. Medium acidity, medium+ body. Tannins are oh-so-smooth and the finish is long and full of minerality with just a hint of pepper. Wish I had a case of this but alas, it was my only bottle.

Garnet, fading to brown around the rim. Floral and mocha nose, with some pleasant barnyard aromas that fade away after decanting. Sour cherry on the palate complimented by bouquet of flowers. Some astringency but very smooth (and sweet!) on the medium-long finish.
