May 11, 2023 - 'Welcome back Neal' Dinner (Giando, 5 Star Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong): I bought two cases of this wine en-primeur, which I am one-third of the way through....but this one was brought by Neal. Decanted for 2 hours before serving ( I would recommend a lot longer but circumstances don't always permit).Totally opaque deep red colour. Nose is quite immediately perfumed, loads of cedar and deep almost-pastilled blackberry. Palate is really young, heavily tannic. Gorgeous depth and precision of fruit with a good rounded surround of oak. Massive resonance and reverberance inside the head on the finish. Gosh, what a finish despite a somewhat un-matured middle. I always love this.
