  Dark ruby core with fading rim. Needs ectensive aeration to come together. Very herbacious initially but with time the eucalyptous scents are balsnced by ripe dark fruit, plums, dark cherries sweet spice. The mid-palate has gained in balance with less baby fat now, good oak integration medium tannins and acidity with long finish. The herbal elenent is there but is part of the whole and not covering the fruit. Still vibrant and youthfull, the fruit is just starting to show some development signs, this wine has more to give.

  PnP. Not much different than the last time I tried it. Perhaps felt more earthy/herby in the nose and the tannins slighly softer. Solid with some life ahead.

  Better showing than the last time i tried it. The nose remains dense, high extract etc but the alcoholic feeling was much more subdued, and the tannins felt better integrated. Very good wine that emits the specific terroir

  Dense nose with ripe fruit, blackcurrants in alcohol, vanilla, herbal and cocoa hints. Very complex and distinctive nose. Quite alcoholic too. Dense structure in the mouth with less alcoholic feeling vs the nose. Lots of black fruit, med acidity and quite firm tannins. Very interesting wine, very complex in every aspect. Would like to try it again after 2-3 years
