Sour cherry and a hint of plum on the palette. Light to medium bodied and the fruit isn’t really shining as it should. Still enjoyable enough but probably beyond its peak.

An interesting drop. Really nice green and stone fruit flavours and mineral backbone once it warmed up from coming out of the fridge. Some petroleum and almost toasty secondaries.

Olives and spice on the nose and good lashings of dark fruits and crimson tones on the palette. Tannins have really integrated well here but it’s got plenty of backbone left Opened 15 mins after standing upright and the glass has a heavy sedimentsL despite a gentle decant. I’ll remember to sit the last bottle of this upright for a good while before pouring.
