Decanted 90 minutes. Quite a tight nose but showing black cherries and a back note of cedar. Palate is more upfront - big, deep - medium+ integrated tannins with good fresh acidity and intense black cherries, rosemary and some savouryness. Feels like this needs a longer decant / more years to develop fully. Very good but not really singing as yet. Drink 2026-35.

Bright, light red color with no apparent age. With only 20 minute decant this had a gorgeous dark cherry smell. Earthy to start and then the cherry enters, paired with a faint menthol and licorice. Some faint tannins still evident, but otherwise this is fully open and drinking beautifully right now. I can see a couple more years of improvement, perhaps, and then many years at this level. Lovely.

Day 2. Warm black fruits and smoke continue to slowly unfurl. Broody and more concentrated today. This wine has and will likely continue to improve.

2 hour decant. Not giving away much on the nose. Firm structure with elegant red and black fruit. Some iodine, truffle and a hint of saline. Probably still early for this one.
