Decanted for 2 hours and followed for 2 more. Translucent darker garnet. Nose a melange of high-pitched roses, camphor, balsam, plum fruit, sea air, firm asphalt. Layers of red plum and bright strawberry fruit cut with tar, saline, and rocky earth on the satiny palate. Bright acidity and still firm tannin. Long finish of plum, sweet berry, tar, and warm earth. Wonderful with mushroom pasta.

2 of 6 PNP …. Dark core lightening rim, pretty tight at opening and by the end clearly would have benefited from a 2-4 hour decant. Mix of red and darker fruits, resolved tannins, there was a sour note to the fruit which was a little distracting, persistent finish.

Accidentally revealed by mistake. Lots of tertiary, leather, tar, earth and dirt, but the fruit was not showing well. Still quite tannic and tight as well, was it perhaps flawed? Hoping my other bottle shows better whenever I get to it.

In a really good spot. In perfect balance and plenty of life left.
