Now drinking very nicely based on this evidence. Opened and drunk without decanting (which I must try with other bottles). Good colour etc. nose developing the tarry notes but not quite coordinated yet. On palate even from start to finish, nicely sustained structure and good length and depth of fruit, with classic tarry notes. Delicious. No hurry I suspect. My first bottle from this producer - it won't be the last.

Very pretty, pale red. A little hint of raspberry but this is all about subtle and leafy and earthy scents. It is just so light--almost floating. There are certainly tannins and acidity present, but neither are obtrusive. I'd hope for the nose to develop a little more intensity and maybe the palate to come together more, but really this can't be far off its peak.

cherriees, leather, herbs and flowers on nose Fresh, ripe fruit, firm tannins but really very open already touch of wildness here, slightly funky earthy quality which I really like Long

Consistent with last note but it seems almost to have firmed up a little. Ready but no hurry.
