Opened another bottle for evaluation. Big mistake. This seems to be shutting down. Did not decant. Tight on opening. After a day this started to show signs of potential. Light bodied but packed with lt red fruit flavours( raspberry/strawberry) merging into darker fruit flavours ( cherry) over time. Great acidity with a strong tannic spine. I will leave the remaining bottles alone. Has the stuffing to be a great GC.

Opened to evaluate maturity. Drinking well but way too early. Medium red in colour, good acidity, fruity nose, packs good light red fruit flavours to start then evolves into more cherry with excellent length. There is a touch of tannins on the back of the palate but that is overcome with the sweet fruit flavours. This will be unbelievable with more aging. Needs patience!!!

Very nice. Fleshy dark and red fruits with a mineral spine. Shutting down but should be very lovely. The structure is very fine and this should show very attractive depth.

All cherry and earth. It was creamy and round with good flesh. It is relatively gentle but has plenty of material upon which to age.
