Clear medium ruby color. Bouquet of crushed gravel, red berries and cherries, animal musk, Earl Grey tea, spices and oak. Similar on the palate, pleasantly tart, a bit rustic, with fruit flavors not predominating.

Nose: Farmyard smells that slowly blew off, some wet hay and dark fruit. Funky. Mouth: rich, tannic, perhaps some brett, hot, blackcurrant jam and quite a stunted finish.

Still showing quite purple with only a very slight hint of orange around the edge. Delicate light nose followed by a still very delicate light taste with plenty of fruit still in there and a reasonable length on the finish. Could last a few more years yet. Was decanted and then back into the bottle 1 hour before drinking

Very nice bottle. All about feminine red berries, mostly small strawberry with a very fine almost fully resolve tannin core.

This seemed quite closed, not giving much, some darkish fruit and with focussed acidity.
