  Great with Christmas Turkey. Needs a good 2 hour decant before serving

  Drunk for dinner with loin of venison. Deep, dark garnet with bricking rim. Nose of black fruits, cherry and damson, with a touch of iron and earthiness. Some sweetness on the palate - possibly from the 15% alcohol. Tannins softened and while still present were well integrated. Nice length and overall very smooth. Better on second day - everything was just a little more concentrated. Drinking at its peak and will probably stay there for another 5-10 years at least. Probably my best bottle to date, and sadly almost my last. Still benefitting from lots of air.

  OK, not stellar, one-dimensional, maybe at end of drinking window, maybe I didn't store as well as I thought. Thought the bottle might be bad at first but after pouring and a little air it settled down. Not unenjoyable, but not memorable.

  This wine has continued to improve significantly and is currrently drinking so well!
  The alcohol is far less noticeable. The fruit and the iron-heavy mineral notes are abundant. Great texture and finish. amazing transformation.
  I plan to dink rest of bottles over next 3-5 years.
