Has really developed and I can't see it improving from here. Gorgeous shiny colour, black currant and vanilla nose. Quite a lot of acidity but all the fruit keeps it in check ( just). As we went through the evening, it started to lack a bit of finesse.

Two thumbs up. Pleasant fruity and earthy nose. Deep purple color, Mid weight plus mouth feel. Balanced flavor profile of black fruit, graphite, pepper, spices, hints of earth. Long finish. There is a strong pepper and spice element here, reminiscent of a fine Syrah/Shiraz. Very nice effort.

Acidity more restrained . Very good but ultimately not worth the premium.

A very nice wine. New world style fruit forward and with silky smooth tannins. Delicious and full of jammy blackberry fruit. Long pleasant finish.

Good notes below so little to add. Developing well. Will now leave for 3 years ie 2020.
