PnP into glass. Light garnet color indicative of age. The nose starts off floral & earthy with a hint of raspberry, evolving towards stewed strawberries and a deep earthiness as it opens up. The wine is medium-bodied, with flavors mirroring the evolved nose. Mature and earthy, but balanced with vibrant acidity. Tannins have softened with age, but still some structure and chalkiness on the finish. The finish is long emphasizing the earthy undertones and mature fruit. This is drinking very well right now.

Medium light body, some nice aromatics, it’s between dark cherry fruit and pointy acidity, in an in between phase I think, but unsure how this will develop further but may as well sit on my other bottle

Advanced colour; high toned nose, spikey, ‘green’ fruit; ungenerous, lightweight, pinched, some sweet fruit lurking beneath; a stern finish, very long. Going through a grumpy phase. I will leave opening the next bottle for a long while.

nose with nice blueberry, cherry, tea. Nose was impressive at beginning and it was also great though out the whole experience, evolving all the time. the tannin is hard but smooth, it got opened up after 6 hours. long dry finishing. very wine young and it will only get better. will be good for at least 10 year

Very pale; faded fruit, mushroom, edgy; skinny, shrill, drying out. But a good match to roast pork.
