    October 30, 2021 - This was really really nice. I agree with graemeg - leave this another decade if you can.

    August 8, 2021 - {screwcap, 13.5%} Still inky dark ruby colour. Pure, intense nose of cabernet and cassis. Oak hardly noticeable on the nose. The palate is very tight indeed, savoury and dry, with grippy medium dusty tannins, black fruit and herbs and a seasoning of French oak. Medium weight. Feels very closed still, and even the finish struggles to offer much overt flavour, despite that it has an even presense along the tongue. Should have either been decanted, or not drunk at all yet. Wait a decade.

    deeply fragrant pure cassis, a hint of tar
    pure dark berries, just a hint of tobacco leaf, soft and refined, very long, tannins present but very fine, has many years ahead of it, not much development yet, impressive
