Always a favorite second wine, nose of plums, forest floor, oak, and menthol. Well balanced and integrated tannins, medium long very smooth finish. Entering its prime drinking years now. Went great with a curried shepherd’s pie.

Perhaps this was opened too soon. Recessed nose. More tannin and acidity than (dark red) fruits on the palate. Disappointing (2-3h after decanting). It went quite well with roast turkey and all the usual trimmings but did not impress on its own. I looked up the UK price and couldn’t believe it.

Consumed over multiple nights. Liked best on 3rd night where things became more balanced, tannins subsided. Still a little dusty cherry, dark red fruits but at least the tannins weren't biting. Meh+
