  A wonderful nose: high toned fennel, leather, farmyard and balsam. The kind of profile that can be sometimes found in older wines, but this isn't very old at all.
  
  That similar profile comes through on the palate, yet here the complexity increases (some sour cherry is worth mentioning) and is carried through to a long and complex finish by somewhat tangy acidity. Only medium weight and no tannins to speak of. No reason to hold on to these further, given the joy it gives now.
  
  Negatives? Not everyone will like the more aged wine / farmyard edged flavour profile and lack of upfront fruit. This is definitely in my style slot though.

  3 hour decant. 13.5%
  4 days of "red wine fast" is finally broken, so I might well over rate this :-)
  Dull purple - pleasant grape and sour cherry in the nose - nice in the mouth - dark fruits with the sour cherries in the background - nice balance - stylish but without pretension - fair finish - oh how I love red wine! Decent wine, nicely hitting the spot today.

  Classic bordeaux taste, with marcipan
  Needs at least an hour in the glass
