Popped and poured. Very transparent. Light to medium bodied. Cranberry, cherry, with subtle herbal notes. Elegant and nicely balanced. Not very complex but this m is a joy to drink.

Took 2 hours in the decanter to open up, as of the 3rd hour fantastic. Unfortunately no notes taken, just enjoyed it. Still going strong, really enjoyed it.

Dark pour. Darker than most 2011s I have had. Simmering gariguey aroma. A bit of protruding alcohol? Palate - ok. Raspberry and wild strawberry fruit. Baked pastry crust. Bonfires. On the hard side. Persistent and grippy. Fruit not luxurious but savory. Tannic bitter finish. I'm a bit puzzled by this. Perhaps in an awkward phase. I hope the fruit re-emerges.....

Very strange..... entirely unlike the previous bottle. This one was far more like a cab-shiraz blend! Dark black fruits, no strawberry and smoke. Rich. Unready. A bit closed. Weird......

Popped and poured. Medium bodied. Raspberry and dark cherry, smoke and earth. Medium to full bodied. Nicely balanced but nothing special.
