  This odd bird seems pretty shut down at the moment. The perfume is a little reluctant, eventually revealing strong floral and smoke character. There’s virtually no fruit on the palate, replaced by smoke, charred rosemary, violet, thyme, and stone. Pretty structured with solid acidity and granite-like tannins. If there’s fruit in there, this will go a long ways; if not, it’ll probably dry out before really hitting its promise.
  
  Edit: ah yes, another Enfield red that takes a full evening in the glass to start opening up. This’ll go another 2 decades. Decant in the morning if drinking in the evening now.

  A little over a year since my last bottle, which was quite open, and this one took its own sweet time giving up the goods. After about two hours the smoke, meat, herb and olive elements all came out to play, but it wasn't the immediate pleasure that had come with the previous bottle. The wine moves at its own pace. Still one left to see how things go with several more years of bottle age, as there is still plenty of material (and good balance) to hold up for more age.

  A couple of years ago this was shut down. Now it’s glorious. Smoke, herbs, leather, dark fruit, hot gravel, menthol, tar, and more, all in one glass. Each sniff and each sip reveals another layer. I keep diving deeper, and keep falling further. There is no bottom. I had always thought this would be good, when it finally started to develop. I did not expect this. Glorious.

  Seems to be some what shut down. There’s lots of depth on the palate, but it refuses to unfurl, and show what it’s got. I will let my other bottles sleep a while longer.

  30m decant. I found this underwhelming. Nice fruit and olives on the nose. Salinity and light herbs with good structure on the palette. Paired nicely to roast duck. Just no surprise or wow.
