Dark ruby with somewhat muted but regal aromas of lavender, anise, and red fruits. Flavor profile is sweet red and black berries and a touch of pine augmented by flavors of the aforementioned aromas. A modest finish without much persistence; a pleasant wine to drink currently but may not evolve much further.

Nose is dark and a little brooding but also has good wood spice and a faint bit of Gevry earth coming through. Decanted for two hours based on the reviews here and suspect that helped a bit, but overall was youthful and dark. Smells a little more ripe and lush than it really is. Palate is short on power and structure actually. Pleasant drinking but nothing too detailed or special. 92-

Decanted for three hours. Beautiful wine. Cool dark nose with Asian spices and stony mineral. Power without weight. Balanced with good acidity and full tannins. Tonight the tannins show nice. Will improve with more age. I purchased three bottles on release I will drink another in 2030.

Quite intense jammy strawberry on the nose. Still relatively closed as it’s a big year. Would likely get better but I do like the winemaking style

PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Root” day): Medium bright ruby to the eyes. Brilliant colour.
Aromatic with lots of primary darker chunky berry fruits, fur-like animale and dark floral notes.
Good balance. Needs a little more time to open.
93-94 points to me.
1 hour since uncorking: Significant improvement on nose and palate with more sous bois and animale notes, upgrading to 94 points.
