  This took a couple of hours to open after decanting.
  
  Lots of brambles to start with, then the cherry and oak shone through with a bit of green leaf. Acidity was still firm with well integrated tannins. Lovely finish.

  Clear bright cherry on the nose, tomato leaf, perfumed florals.
  Good depth of fruit on the palate but hot alcohol on the mid palate and finish (15% on the label) and a fair bite of tannin mean this isn’t really ready yet. Will see how it fairs night two.
  
  Much much better night two and perhaps helped by being a little cooler. More depth of flavour and loses the alcohol burn and harsh tannins
  
  Will let remaining bottles sleep for a few years more
