Second last bottle from my restock. Appearance: deep mulberry core, ruby rim. Nose: more savoury that fruit now: roasted meats, cassis, blueberry, smoke, sage, a hint of eucalyptus, leather and nicely fragrant. Medium+ body. Rich and concentrated. Fades a bit on the finish, but otherwise good balance. Tannins have softened. Nose is more appealing than palate. Very good.

Appearance: dark ruby. Nose: concentrated blackcurrant and blackberries and very earthy. Palate: medium to full bodied, oak is noticeable, smooth but pronounced tannins. Powerful long finish.

Wonderful. And at its peak. But it had a somewhat short cork, and the wine had travelled nearly all the way to the top. So drink up!

Unpleasant first sips (opened and poured) but improved with air.
Blackberry and eucalyptus on the nose. Same again in the mouth along with chocolate. Fairly soft tannins.
Not bad but seems a bit prematurely aged, especially given it's under screwcap.

See previous note. Some leather and black olives as well in this tasting.
