Love the nose on this after 2hr decant but what followed was a little disappointing. Not enough tannins or acidity to balance out the sweet fruit. Nice, but I don't think up to their 2017 or 2018 vintages. I'll hold the other 3 for a few years and try another then but my expectations have been lowered on this one.

This bottle was a bit muddled in flavors;Chocolate Cherry and Mocha were in the mix. The middle was heavy and fruity and the finish showed the fruit along with a dry medium tannin. To me...disappointing.

A tonne of peppery spice on the nose along with floods of ripe black fruit. Plenty of sweet fruit and oak on the palate, but nicely balanced. The tannins are gorgeously ripe but the obscene level of alcohol rather lets it down.

Medium full body, round, evident American oak, some length and balance, cheap cork.
