  Enjoyable, but perhaps not showing at its absolute best?

  Didn't perform quite at its best - perhaps lacking its usual balance. Lots of lovely blackberry, brambly fruit and also seemed to improve over several days after being opened.

  Still very dark with some purple patches. Rich blackberry and mint on the nose, with an intense concentrated cool palate. Mouth-coating with quite sharp tannins from the mid-palate. Not as evolved as I expected.
  
  Half the bottle was left overnight and tried again the following evening, by which time it had rather fallen away.
  
  Overall, there were hints of very real promise here, but a small something just seemed to be lacking. I've got another five or six of these and am keen to give this wine another try soon.
