Definitely some ripe fleshy berries, sage, meat rub, subtle umami notes on the nose. Palate is ripe with a real plumpness to the fruit — it doesn’t feel overcooked to me, but does feel like it needs some time for the non-fruit notes to shine through. The savory notes are there now but they feel a little overpowered. One to come back to.

This wine needs more time to mature. Even after 6 hours in a decanter, it was rather harsh - certainly more so than expected. I don't plan to open another bottle of this wine for at least another year.

Quite hot and pruney, a little too ripe for my taste.

Good solid wine, big fruit upfront and slightly lighter on the finish (more strawberry notes)
