Note much in the way of notes Full mouthfeel soft tannins and a long finish. Ready now if you like big fruit driven wines. Maybe better in a couple of years but delicious now
Aromatically I get slight cherry fruit with a tinge of tobacco leaf and chocolate. In mouth the wine is soft with black currants, plum skin, slight amounts of ripe blackberry and that new french oak wood presence despite being 8 years in bottle. The mid palate is where this really shines with the viscous weight of the juice simply enveloping the mouth with coating berry flavors. This has tremendous weight with layering of tobacco, chocolate and plum leading to a long finish and really balanced tannin's. Ready to consume right now.

Removed the cork and left in the cellar for five hours before blind tasting. Still too young. Outstanding potential showed as it continued to open up while consumed over the next few hours. Will let the remaining two rest for a few years.

Four hour decant. Very deep ruby magenta color. Dark fruit, wild strawberry, truffle and caramel infused dark chocolate, tea, and subtle marshmallow and orange rind on the nose. Very smooth, tongue drying palate. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.
Very elegant and refined. Didn’t necessarily need more than two hours of air, but four didn’t hurt. Birthday wine for my wife/girlfriend (it’s the same person). ;)

Wonder deep color with lovely nose. Finish is fantastic. Decanted 90 mins. Would recommend a few hrs or more time asleep in cellar.
