This is minty with dark fruit. Tastes very youthful but, at the same time, evolved. Nice licorice notes and very floral on the palate - lavender? When the wine enters the mouth it explodes with bright grapey goodness and still has some mellow tannins hanging around. Lacks some complexity/interest, but still very enjoyable, just not a knockout for me. Ready on PnP but some air does help it open up a bit. Drinking nicely now but surely can go for years.

PNP. Inky black. Plum and other blue fruit. Mocha, tobacco, leather. Bold, long finish. Smooth tannins. Bit of a hot/spicy finish that settled down over time.

Good to go on PnP, with slight improvement after.
Bramble, spice
Ageing beautifully, with a lot of time left.
