I tried to PnP, but this bottle has gone to a deep numb stage, and it took a good two hours in the decanter for the tannin to recede. However, the fruit and the aroma are just not there. HOLD for a few years. Do decant, as the wine is already throwing fine sediment.

A masculine wine which shows the characteristics of the 2018 vintage. A rather dull and closed nose with medium+ body and intensity. It may need another 2-3 years to become a good food wine . 85 if PnP today, 88-90 potential. Hold

Upon opening, it was a wow wine (Parker meets Coonawarra Cab.), dominated by oak blackcurrant and mulberry fruit. However, the wine dropped off the cliff 1-hour after decanting to take away the sediment. Definitely drink up, with no decant.
