  2/12/2024 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

  PnP that was still quite fresh and very harmonious. Good power through the mid-palate with bright red/dark red fruits, some cinnamon, soil, and licorice, etc. Med+ bodied with cool acids and ripe, mostly resolved tannins. Seems like it can go for a while at this level. 14,0% abv. highly recommended

  Earthy dark cherry fruit on the nose. I got some volatile acid on the nose but it is modest. Surely also some new oak ? There are some barrique here but I don't know if any was new. Broad in the mouth. Juicy fruit. Ripe. Full of flavor - licorice and cherry. Bright acid. Grippy tannins still - fine grained but quite drying. I doubt they will ever really fully come around. I noticed the oak more as time went by - as I always do. A long decant and a steak would help.Holding up well.
  Tannins better mannered the next day, which is encouraging. Loads of sediment. Suggest a very long decant.
