Drank over 2 nights. Decanted 2 hours and then drank most of the bottle over 2 hours. Pleasant nose. Nicely balanced fruit with a slight acidity on the finish. Quite tasty on its own or with some red meat.

In a really good spot right now. Quite herbal and savory. Fruit in the background. Still quite structured - acid and tannins. Long smooth finish.

Excellent bottle at it's prime, full body and well balanced with a long aftertaste of cherries, perfect with steak or fresh sushi

Wonderful. Just wonderful. Tannins are still firm but not overwhelming. Notes of currants, boysenberry and graphite.

Cherry, cedar, graphite. Very jammy. Good purity on the finish. Silky tannins.
