Nose of honeysuckle and fresh hay. Honey, slight pecan-peach notes with a fleetingly subtle eucalyptus. Satin mouth feel that spreads like liquid gold. A bit heavier on the pallet than my preference but no less a gorgeous wine. Drink now it’s drinking lovely.

Based on other reviews of being overly herbaceous and green pepper forward, I decanted 2.5 hrs. Agree with the green notes upon opening but mellowed out upon decant. Beautiful opacity with notes of fig, currant, dark bitter cherry on the bouquet. Tamed down dark berries with slight acidity in the front with smooth finish. Paired beautifully with manchego and blue agar cheese and hard salami.

Briar and bramble. Lush on the pallet with a cola long finish. Hint of sandalwood and light rose on the bouquet. Will get better with more time I bottle, but very good for its youth.
