opened last sunday. decanted for an hour, but was very tight and closed. nose of licorice, beautiful. after another hour of decant, it opened up very well. lovely wine and drinking well now and i believe can keep for 5+ years.

Had with DG at home. Decanted for 2 hours. Was worried it was over the hill. Pleasantly surprised. Smooth finish. Should open up n drink now.

only decanted for 1 hour which was clearly not enough as wine tasted much better after few hours. bit tannic at first but smooth afterwards. no signs of age, colour was good.

very neutral. nose was flat, finish was a non event. probably a wine to serve in a big gathering.

very dissapointing. drank it after an hour of decanting. had a good nose, deep and rich but on tasting it went flat. quick finish. absolutely boring.
