  Lots of vibrant red fruits, a little spicy, beautiful colour, pure and yet simple. Drinking very nicely now!

  This bottle showed really well. PnP then tasted over a couple days out of 4oz Boston rounds.
  
  Dense coloration, with a little pencil on the nose. A little coiled at first, time in the glass unwinds a wine with some fine grained wood tannins still hanging around. Full bodied with dark fruits, and certainly some anise. Nice balance of acidity. This has held up very well
  
  85% Merlot 15% Cab Sauv

  Served blind. I thought this was Pauillac at first, with cedar spice and tobacco notes (pichon baron) but after 30mins or so was more plump(and once I knew there was merlot) with the oak notes integrating. Still showed rather remarkable depth, darker fruited but lovely Spicy toaccco aromatics. Seemed to be at peak to me.

  Takes a couple hours to open, this wine will go through some changes until it settles into a good place. The nose is oaky, smoky, and hint of vanilla. After 2 hours the palate is dark with cola and a dark cranberry finish. There's a decent amount of acid and some tannins in the finish. Not bad but we'll see how it is later.
  Oaky, it still has a lot of life in it and gets better with a 4 hour decant. The nose is light incense with dark cranberry, cola, and chewy tannins, but it's in a place where I feel the window is closing so drink now and decant, decant, decant!
  Shout out to DJ below. If I ever get back to Ireland, we'll meet in Cork so we can un-cork LOL.

  From memory, it is a delightful wine drinking at its best. Some decanting is recommended.
