    January 6, 2023 - PnD let air for 2hrs.

    Consistent with previous notes.

    This is really coming into its own. Amazing.

    September 25, 2022 - Russk. Tim brought to CDC at Andrea's. Really nice done and restrained for a Tuscan coast Bdx blend.

    June 15, 2021 - PnD let air for 2hrs.

    Consistent with previous note. Great fruit with balance can go for 10 years.

    March 21, 2021 - PnD let air for 3hrs.

    Consistent with previous note.

    Starting to flesh out.

    Plum cassis tar violet graphite thyme and cedar on the nose.

    Dry. Medium(+) tannins. Medium(+) acidity. Medium(+) alcohol. Medium(+) body. Medium(+) body. Medium(+) intensity with flavours of plum cassis.

    Medium(+) finish with grippy blood iron and cassis. Very good. Drink now suitable for further ageing. This is going to get way better. Hands off for five years.

    Day 2 last quarter of the bottle sealed and left in fridge brought back to room temp. Nicely rounded with better integration. +1 pt.

    October 24, 2020 - PnD let air for 90mins.

    Plum cassis vanilla tobacco coconut tar and cherry on the nose.

    Ripe racy and balanced flavours follow the nose. Grippy lingering finish. Lacks a bit of depth in the middle may fatten up with time. Very good. Drink now suitable for further ageing. Awesome value.
