  Bottle #1 of 3 (375 ml). Decanted 90 minutes. Medium-dark ruby, watery rim. Aromas of cherry, mocha, peanuts. Flavours of under-ripe strawberries. Full bodied, high acid, XD, medium tannin, m-h alcohol (14.5%). Fine but nothing special at this stage - hold. Will try my remaining bottles in 2032 and, perhaps, 2040.

  PnP and initial thought is quite a nice nose that's more fruit forward than i expected with a hint of oak and slight brickish in colour. I think acidity is just right and nice balance of tannins as well that is not overpowering. Nice mid palate but I don't taste much complexity. I also think it has a short finish. However, overall I think this is a very easy drinking wine and I do enjoy it.
