Served by the glass. Genuinely loyal to its origins: structured, grippy, tannic and a little unbalanced on the palate. Nose is typical plenty of notes of blackberries, spice scented and also quickly boring. Needs time anyway. Don't look for elegance here.
Servido por copas. Genuinamente fiel a sus orígenes: estructurado, adherente, tánico y un poco desequilibrado al paladar. Nariz es la típica con un montón de notas de moras, especias perfumadas y también rápidamente aburrido. Necesita tiempo de todos modos. No busques la elegancia aquí.

Tannins and depth of flavour most impressed in this five way blend. Med to full bodied, wait 3-5 years for more detail to emerge from its sheen of classy oak. Very enjoyable drink, wait for sophistication to emerge with some more time. Hard to pick blind at this time due to composition and generous winemaking- from my limited experience with Woodlands (Nicolas and Wilyabrup) this seems true to a ‘polished’ house style. Agree with previous note, a big plus sign for future upside. Thank you Duck for sharing.

Over 2 nights. Young but dusty/grippy tannins coat the tongue. QPR. Nice. Upside. 92-93+
