  First day a bit too tarty - smacks of strawberries, quite perfumed. On second day it has evolved, darker notes have appeared, black currant and spices, initial overt freshness has developed into more complexity.

  At last coming into balance wth more underwood, bright red fruit and clarity. Still a little bitter at the end but clean with good length. Pop and pour this as nose gone in about an hour leaving much less interest.

  Nose of raspberry, pomegranate, underwood. Good acidity and length. Would give it an hour to air. Improving over last 2 years. Maybe hold another year or so.

  The finesse, elegance and complex perfume in the flavor profile far exceeded my expectations. There is also an herbal nuance in the flavor. This doesn’t have the depth and palate penetration of a great wine but the flavor profile and balance belongs to that of a great wine. Day two tomato leaf emerges but perfume is largely gone. Otherwise drinking well, balance still fine.
