  First day a little sharp but you can really sence what is lurking. Crazy good day 2, lucky to have 3 left who will get some rest now. So cruelly balanced, pure harmony to drink 👍🥇🍷

  Over 2 days. Typical house style and very young. Nice, if unspectacular. Hold for now 90-91prs

  Big and powerful. Decanted for about 2 hours but I reckon it needs about 5yrs more in bottle. Dark ruby red, thick tannins and flavours of leather, blackcurrant, black pepper, mint. It was bottle #4 of the night so palate wasn’t at it’s finest! Keen to try again in a few years
