  Excellent wine, if too young. Loads of dark red fruit and musky perfume. Huge dry extract. Needs food. 93-94 now with 95-96 in 10 years..

  Bottle 1/2. Served too warm in our garden, but still delivered beautiful black fruit, leather and roasted meat. Still young. 94+/100

  Lush bouquet with iron and other mineral impressions. Some development as well. On the palate the same impressions, red and dark berries, sweet spices, full bodied, good acidity and still round and friendly sticky tannin. Young maturity stage now. 93 - 94

  To celebrate all the fellow Dads out there this Father’s Day I popped a cult Northern Rhone and cooked Iberico pluma (even the fussy 6y old wolfed it down 😹).
  
  Opaque purple colour. Orchard fruit and spring flowers on the bouquet. Palate was most open after 1.5 hours of air: purple fruit, red fruit, dark chocolate, freshly cut flowers, mint cream and a superbly balanced finish of chocolate covered cherries and velvet. Just no hard edges and super complex. A touch closed at this youthful stage but 96/100 point potential easy.
  
  Happy Father’s Day everyone!
