  With beef brisket at Hope Cove. Audouzed 2hrs. From magnum. Great Cabernet nose, long & balanced in the mouth, and a nice long finish. In a perfect place now, but certainly no rush to drink.

  First of the five blind tasted reds.
  
  Medium to deep garnet red with slight bricking on the edges. Barnyard funk on the attack of the nose with chalk, some greenery, leather, gamey notes, a touch floral and a little petrol too. Rounded and well integrated tannins (5.5/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Well structured with balanced acidity. Light cherries on the palate, cherry tomato, earthy and some herbs. Dry medium plus finish. Drink till 2020.

  Blind Tasting: Chalk nose with brick garnet color. Integrated and moderate dryness comes through in the finish. Initial attack has fruit that lasts only to mid palate and then the dryness kicks in.
  
  Initial tasting with 1 hour decanting.
  
  Also tasted it without decanting - light barnyard and less chalk on the nose. The body was heavy so I don't recommend decanting this in the future. This would be 90 without the decant. - Beautifully rounded - Drink now

  Still had a little time time left. Well intergrated hints of licqourice and black tea. Delicious.
