First day a little sharp but you can really sence what is lurking. Crazy good day 2, lucky to have 3 left who will get some rest now. So cruelly balanced, pure harmony to drink 👍🥇🍷

Big and powerful. Decanted for about 2 hours but I reckon it needs about 5yrs more in bottle. Dark ruby red, thick tannins and flavours of leather, blackcurrant, black pepper, mint. It was bottle #4 of the night so palate wasn’t at it’s finest! Keen to try again in a few years

12 months in French oak hogsheads (25% new) & American oak hogsheads (10% new, 18% 1-y.o., 36% 2-y.o, 11% 3-y.o.). Decanted an hour.
Blackberry, tomato paste, cola, 5 spice, cassis, herbaceous, hint of wintergreen, mocha.
This has improved dramatically since I last tried it!

Over 2 days. Typical house style and very young. Nice, if unspectacular. Hold for now 90-91prs
