Got this EP, 5th of 6 bottles - this note is representative of all 5. Three hour decant. Not flawed, but too acidic, thin, some fruit remaining. Uninteresting. Tipped half away.

Really delicious. On opening the character is rather thin and cranberry like but with plenty of aeration it opens up into a really well-judged, dark-fruited beauty, with well-integrated savoury character. Well proportioned.

Nose is very reduced. Palate is more open, juicy red fruit and peppery notes but tannins are still sharp. Rather simple, drinks like a cheap Crozes and a clear step down from Greal

Excellent bottle, first of 6. Beguiling nose, harmonious on palate with soft ripe integrated tannins. Long and complex, it is very good but I suspect there is room for more. No hurry to drink up really, wont touch another one before 2022 if I can hold off.
