  Feels young. Intense aroma with ripe blueberries, vanilla, oak, coconut, and a little leather. Enough acidity and still going strong!

  After 2 hours of opening, golden yellow
  nose of honey and green apple with peach, floral
  on the palate is bony dry, mineral and stony, with little hint of sweetness
  
  2nd glass at 10 hours after opening, almost amber in colour
  nose of honey getting more distinct, with hint of caramel
  on palate the flavours are more integrated and rounded
  more sweetness compared with earlier, good length with a sherry type of character
  
  After 24 hours of opening, colour: small change since last night, amber
  nose: less than last night, less distinct, honey and apple less prominent
  sherry character more obvious, the stony character has decreased
  rounded and easy to drink

  Didnt plan to open this bottle
  But the cork condition was a bit suspicious and with a mild poke the cork fell into the bottle
  luckily the condition of the wine was still ok
  the wine opened up after around 30 minutes
  crimson colour, nose of dried cherrie, leather and small amount of caramel
  tastes of plum with small amount of minerals with a floral note, medium finish
