Felt more youthful than previous bottles. Still plenty of leather and other tertiary notes, but a good dollop of fruit, and enough acidity, to keep it going. Maybe I'll slow down with the rest...

Capsicums , nicely green herbs, mint and some farty onions! Lofted herbaceousness , I like. Understated but smooth and drinking nicely. Harmless wine. A bit weak on the finish. Quaffable.

More youthful than the first bottle I tried, still a reasonable amount of fruit and decent acidity plus plenty of leather, medicine and perhaps some brie? Soft tannins. Not long left, but looking forward to more over the coming months.

Still youthful, needed 2+ hours of decant to open up and show its high toned fruit and great minerality
