Brought to drink at Oinoscent during service The bottle was decanted at 18:50, tasted at 19:20 The wine shows pale hazy red cherry color In the nose, the wine shows fully developed profile,dried red cherry, red currant, sous bois, earthy, dried herbs, cigar box, sweet spices, cinnamon, bacon/cured meat after a bit of time. In the palate, the wine looks fully developed, coffee, chocolate notes, sweet spices, dried red cherries, lean body, a touch hot, dissolved tannins, a few dried herbs, medium finish It seems that decanting its not really needed. I don't think it would benefit from further ageing.

Eastman. Coming into its drinking window. Nose especially expressive with fruit and some violet. Good dollop of tannin remains. Enjoyed with duck leg confit and duck breast in a tart cherry sauce. I'll save my last one for another 2-3 years.
