4th of 6, opened 90 minutes, decanted 30 minutes, nice enough, fresh, quite complex with decent length and balance if with slightly herbal edge, authentic smoke and bacon, plateau, 10+ years. Just about F (17.5).......PS half decanted into half bottle and drunk 3 days later more layered and harmonious with green/herbal edge muted portending better days ahead!!!

2nd of 6, decanted 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, tighter, brighter, more herbaceous (not my favourite note) with hint of smokey bacon and generally more complex than 2017 bottle, approaching maturity, no rush. F (17.5).

1st of 6, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level - deepish red, glossy, some lightening on rim; plum and cherry fruit, quite fresh, touch of earth, attractive if not particularly complex; medium, decent length and persistence, fruit driven, pure, quite youthful and energetic. F (17.5).
