3hr decant. Star wine. Nose of black cherry, leather, leaf mould, vanilla but lifted with freshness and greenness - tomato stalk, eucalyptus. Structured palate of blackberry, vanilla, mushroom - high acid and tanning driving the long finish. Juicy fruit flavours despite the age - this wine still has more time ahead of it

After a 3h decant, opened up with a lovely bouquet of dark Cherry, cigar box/tobacco, sweet Xmas spice, chocolate and plum. On the palate, supple rounded flavours of plum, dark cherry, earth, violets and vanilla. Medium acid and medium tannin, balanced and long. Lovely pairing with slow roast lamb.

Was expecting more at that price and from this producer. Strangely overripe and almost sweet, perhaps it’s past it’s best at this point. Drinkable but uninspiring.
