This needs an hour or two of air to integrate, but is quite tasty once it's done so. Freshly unscrewed, it's simultaneously sweet and angular when it hits the palate, though with noticeable pepper. After it warms up, it's got some vegetal notes, pepper, mild plum - the fruit isn't prominent - and a savoury aftertaste. Tannins are quite mild but long. A rich, strongly flavoured wine. Mild perfume from oak, and it's a good thing it's mild - it tends towards soapy, but as a hint, it's not bad.

Excellent. Tannins have faded, fruit and complexity have blossomed.

If you have the proper storage conditions, I would suggest several more years of cellaring. Lots of promise though.

Smooth, simple, but very tasty. Very good buy at $14
Still great day 2.
