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.2 people found this helpful Comment
