  Very good wine, I think in a good drinking window, very smooth, kind of nothing wrong. There is just something that doesn‘t make me click. Not enough acidity? Too smooth? Complaining on a high level. I think many people will like it a lot, but for wine lovers there is missing something.

  Silky tannins, supple as you move it around in your mouth, very balanced: sweet and savoury, acid and structure. Drinking beautifully now. Ready to be enjoyed and with years to go but if you have more than one, drink one now… at least!

  No formal notes. Good with minimal air. Decant for sediment.

  Deep fruity, well balanced tannins. Needs decanting - much better day 2.
  Good with deer and mushroom-sauce.
  A repurcahse

  Decanted for a couple of hours, but had some sips along the way!
  
  On first opening the nose displayed quite a load of sweet fruit but the palate was dark and brooding.
  
  After a couple of hours the fruit is far less forward and what we have is a nicely balanced dark wine. There are notes of tobacco and leather, not unlike a decent claret. The finish is moderate with nice smooth tannins. It's all is rather good balance and an excellent food wine.
  
  This wine could be drunk two ways - pull and pour you get something quite fruit forward and rather pleasant; a couple of hours later you have a more developed wine appealing to those who like a darker style.
  
  Either way it's a very decent wine and OK QPR at the ~US$31 I paid.
