  Very young, but incredible potential. Super intense and concentrated, with great complexity. I could sit and nose this for hours.
  
  Deep purple colour.
  
  Pronounced aromas of kirsch cherry, acacia wood, almond liqueur, ripe black plum, all spice, juniper, christmas cake, smoke, licorice, pencil shavings.
  
  Pronounced palate.
  
  Full body, high tannin, medium (+) acidity, long finish.

  November 17, 2023 - Wafts of concentrated blackberry and blueberry. Touches of kirsch, smoke, juniper and beef crust. Huge intensity on the structured palate, yet with a lifted freshness. Lovely long finish. Hold.
  
  WSET Notes:
  
  Deep purple.
  
  Pronounced on the nose with blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, kirsch, smoke, charred wood, meat, tapenade, vanilla, juniper, cloves, leather. Developing.
  
  Pronounced and dry on the palate with liquorice coming through. Full body, high alcohol, high tannins, medium plus acidity, long finish.
  
  Too young.

  July 9, 2023 - Tasted late a long lineup so minimal note and no score, just recording that the standout features for me were the intense concentration of this along with the powerful but very fine tannins.

  June 23, 2020 - Luxurious nose with notes of blueberry, plum, cool mint and black tea; elegant silky texture on entry, the wine flexes its muscles with fine-textured yet firm tannins that fan out and lock towards the finish in a Baroloesque manner; touch below full bodied, blueberry and dark fruits shot through with cloves and gravel, great length. Top drawer, with great promise.
