It's all come together. Brilliant balance ... softened out into a feminine Pinot with savoury, forest floor elements. Get some, if you can. Strongly recommended.

There is a nice brambly, briar nose to this, with earthy spices and musky, rose petal delicacy as well. The palette has searing acidity with some relatively muscular tannins that belie the delicate, feminine nose. There is a bright cherry core that fills out to be quite dark and almost chocolatey. This is interesting stuff.

A nose of ripe red cherry with savoury Asian spices and a sweet vanilla edge. The palette shows a nice crushed rock minerality and soft tannin combination which got really smooth and balanced on the fourth day. This is a keeper that is drinking well right now.

Drank half this last night. Put two 200mls away.
Tonight ... wow!

A bit early for drinking this, but I wanted to see its development.
Moorish fruit, good structure. Lighter bodied.
Unless you have plenty of these wait a year or two before opening.
