Slow ox for about 5 hours. Bramble, cherry and hibiscus on the nose. Elegant bouquet with good depth and complexity. On the palate notes of red cherry, ripe forest berries, rose petals, rooibos tea, herbal essence, sous bois, crushed rock, leather and fresh soil. Remained on the elegant, rather reluctant side. Long aftertaste and good persistence. Very delicious. Drink or hold

Another excellent bottle. Pulled cork in one piece with an ah-so. Left in decanter for 8 hours. Well, this was the plan. Started drinking after 7 hours. It then showed very good, mature notes with present acidity and dried fruit profile, cranberry, raisins, dried herbs, figs, stoney minerals. Then, after another hour the wine gained more depth and profoundness and came well together. So impressive! 8 hours at least, it is for me.

Consistent and persistent. Drank over two days. Well balanced with no noticeable signs of development in terms of maturity. Present acidity, good freshness, agrumes, apple, blood orange, vegetal notes, herbal notes and some minerality. Not the greatest depth but full of character. Very delicious
