Roses, Strawberries, licorice, raspberries, mushrooms, plums. (Maybe, pear & honeydew melon) good length. Very interesting. 95

Redcurrant, blueberries, Blackcurrant, licorice, bay leaf, menthol, hint of leather. Decent finish. You could drink now, but probably has more upside if you wait another 2-3 years at least. 95

Day 1: Blackberries, Pencil shavings. Good. 89
Day 2: Blackberries, pencil shavings, licorice, blackcurrants, black plums, vanilla. Much better on day 2. Good acidity and tannins. 92

Strawberries, raspberries, roses, forest floor, fantastic intensity & length. The seconds half of the bottle was definitely better and it kept getting better and better with time in the glass. I would recommend a decant(possibly?) Second time with this wine didn’t disappoint. 97

Oak feels as it has taken centre stage here for the moment. Vanilla, clove, coconut, chocolate, blackberry, plum, lavender. High tannin, medium + acidity. Finish is good. At this stage of its life it’s pushing me away, it needs time… I believe a lot more time, I would think of opening another bottle in another 5-7 years min (absolute min). I think all the components are there, it just needs more time to mesh together and for the oak & tannins to loosen its grip on the wine. 92 (but has lots of upside)

2/11/2024 - Isaac D wrote:

Blackberry, blackcurrant, slight capsicum edge. Plenty of tannin (high). I would recommend waiting another 5 years before opening, or a very long decant. 90

Red roses, Raspberries & strawberries. Has a sweet and sour pull to it. So youthful now. Medium + tannins and medium acidity. This bottle is drinking so much better than the last bottle I had a couple of years ago (I bought that one from auction, this bottle directly from the cellar door) If I knew the bottle was going to be so youthful, I would have given it another 5 years min. 95+

Day 4 of the bottle being open. Very attractive nose. Thyme, oregano, blueberry, blackberry and plum. Bit short. Drinking well now. Medium + tannins. Will keep, but I think it’s drinking well now. Personally I would drink over the next 5 years. 89
