This is developing well, tannins still a bit course, but beginning to integrate well

Nose is fresh and floral, first taste is a burst of elderflower, with high acidity. Flavours develop in the mouth citrus and green pear, with a slightly saline finish. Makes a good appertif or with light tapas.

Last note on this is Dec 2022.
Decanted into clean bottle about an hour before, lots of sediment.
Still holding the deep ruby colour, hint of age starting to show at the rim.
Nose is intense, with the bright ripe fruit of cherry, raspberry and bramble.
Palate gives good acidity keeping the wine tasting fresh, tannin still high but softer than previous bottles. Flavour still pronounced with cherry, clove, brambles, with leather, charred wood and liquorice, finish is long with caramel and coffee coming through.
I’d say reaching a peak, will see how the final bottles hold out over the next year or so.
