92/93. PnP. This has aromas of raspberries, flowers, iron fillings, blackcurrants and cassis. Its solid muscular medium bodied nicely oaked blue and red fruits palate has great freshness and end longish, fresh and tapering. 13.5%: Drink now with food or lay down 5-10 years. Superb value at 22 Euros.

Deep ruby Med+ intensity on the nose, dark plum, clove, black pepper, developing. Dry, high acidity, high tannins, full body, med intensity, dark plum, toast, violet, med finish. This bottle is suspected to be a little corked. It’s right at my threshold to be sensed but not 100% sure. The fruit notes is a bit muted when we opened the bottle last night. Tried to decant in the bottle overnight, however, it’s not helpful.
Decanted and drank over two days. Nose somewhat reticent, but fruit and tar are there. Tannin and acidity has settled over the past 10 months leaving black fruit, cut brick/minerality, slightly drying finish. Good on its own and better with food. Will continue to evolve positively. No problem drinking this now, or wait for a year for something even more interesting.

In a great spot now, dark fruits , creamy and rich. Tannins are nicely integrated. Very enjoyable.
