Twisted and poured for guests so didn't take detailed notes. Dark fruits, mocha, a bit of sage tonight. Tannins have integrated more than previous bottles. Still primary and unfortunately I wasn't able to hang on for any long term cellaring. That is fine as this was enjoyed.

So much for waiting 12 to 18 months to revisit. Got a taste on 2nd night of being opened. Dusty dark fruits, coffee, loads of ripe tannins. Still needs time or a juicy steak.

Consumed over 2 nights. Didn't take detailed notes. First night fruits seemed more stewed (think figs) whereas like this more on the second night where dark fruits, coffee and a hint of earth with nice balance was at play. Will revisit my other bottle in 12~18 months.
