Dark, with some seriously funky Asian spices, sandalwood, eucalyptus, blueberries, black cherries, and a distinct salinity. Powerful. Syrup of blueberries and a bracing backbone of salinity. Loses the spice notes of the nose behind the dark fruit. Jaw popping intensity of flavor. Powerful dark fruit notes echo through the finish with a smouldered earth and eucalyptus note.
Interesting and still incredibly primary. I can’t wait to see how this evolved into day two, and what if anything emerges from the depths.

2016 Arnot-Roberts Falanghina Handal-Denier Vineyard

Beautiful tonight and much improved over my last bottle.
Lemon curd, mashed pear, white floral and loads of stone. Carries some weight but has the acidity to pull it off elegantly.

2014 Force Majeure Parabellum Rhone Varietal Blend

61% Syrah, 39% Mourvèdre. 15.1% Alc
Just starting to emerge from its shell. Roasted earth and grilled herbs. Deep jellied dark berry fruits.
Mammoth, yet still concealed by a bristling wall of tannins
Frustratingly like the last bottle: closed up with hints of potential hiding behind a wall of youthful tannins.
