  Day 2 tasting of remaining half of 750ml bottle from Asparagus.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Heavy sediment towards the end of the bottle.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fresh lacquered wood, mocha, dark red cherries, fresh leather, slight meat, hint of floral berries. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), puckery structured high tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of ripe dark red cherries, black cherries, boysenberries, leathery meat, mocha, dark chocolate oak. Savoury earth with more air. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Lacks refinement, but showing lots of structure, heft, and muscularity. Real ambitious. Should only get better over the next 3-4+ years.

  too young! too young! good underlying material though. good fruit and acidity (bearing in mind that it is a 2003), noticeable (but manageable) tannins. fragrant, delicate nose. will try the next bottle in 3-4 years.

  this was a strange one. on the first day, it was relatively open. you could tell it was from a ripe vintage - fruity with hints of oak and significant tannins. drank 1/3 on the first day. on the second day, it went to sleep?. Fruit had receded, but the oak was dominant. Going to try it on the thrd day to see how it has developed.
  
  On the strength of the 1st day alone, im going to rate it a 87-89. Well structured, pleasing finish. Though fruity, one could discern its urgundian nature. Very nice.
