drank over three days. medium to full body. tannin still a bit hot, nice dark fruit without oak. tannin still a bit overbearing even on day three. good value, hold for another year or two if you like.

drinking beautifully now. Powerful but not overwhelming. Not hot despite the alcohol of 14.5%. Balanced in a new-world way. Well-structured, lovely texture, with a good finish. Excellent value again.

Verdict: A rich cuvee with huge characteristics of Carmenere, subtly balanced by the darkfruits from Syrah, toned down spice and dark chocolate from the oak. Darkfruits and currant on palate. Fine tannins. Medium finishing. Medium full-bodied. Perhaps I'd give a higher score if it was given a longer breathing duration.

Rich and full bodied with moderate agressive tannins that certainly melllowed after being open two hours. Likely will continue to improve with time.
