Had with Easter ham and fixings. Decanted for about an hour ahead of pouring. At this stage, this wine is very good but losing structure. Full fruit on the front palate, some faint oak, faint leather. Dissipates quickly on the mid palate. Drink up. This has passed its peak.

I'm an outlier on this. It was certainly dark, and rich, and thick. But also somewhat bitter and just overmuch. For what it was, it was pretty good, but mostly on the 3rd night when it had smoothed out a bit.

One off purchase at the winery-purchased on release.
Still opaque in color at age 10 or so. Beautiful color.
Evolved aromas of black fruits, leather and some vanilla and cracked pepper. not the most pronounced nose- but very fresh and elegant.
Full bodied with fully resolved tannins and medium minus to low acidity (but enough acidity to keep things fresh). Lots of delicious black fruit on the palate with an elegant and medium plus finish.
Overall delicious and paired well with braised lamb shanks.
May hold, but I would opt to drink up over the next 18-24 months.
