Served at cellar temperature, slow-ox for an hour. Initially a very closed nose with emerging notes of olive juice and then eventually some bacon fat shining through. Very dense on the palate with more olives and some spice. Probably needs a longer decant or ideally a good few more years in the bottle.

12.9% alcohol, dark ruby, light edges, with woodsy pepper aromas on opening. Cool climate offering that needs time and air to open much. Very reserved, limited fruit but plenty of non fruit-pepper, pine needle, salt,-flavors. Delicate. Unusual.

Very nice wine; not great, but nice. Drank it with a good steak. I enjoyed it better than some of the other reviewers.
