Popped and poured. Bright red. On the nose there's lots of peppery spice and a mix of blue and red fruits. Very pretty, and with air some notes of rose and violet mix in. Great acidity and liveliness on the palate, beautifully balanced too. I think this is in a good place and may stay here for a few more years.

Tonight just isn't a good night for this wine. It's showing a rather shrill side, with lots of high-toned red fruit and raging acidity. Smells and tastes out of balance and harsh. There's also a bitterness on the palate that I can't get past. I have definitely had better bottles, and this might just need to sit down for another few years.

Passive storage since release. PnP, enjoyed over 2 nights.
Advanced, not in a great way. Candied fruit and alcohol. Drinkable but and definitely good for a saucepot, but not great at this point in its life.

Still there but definitely past prime. Would drink up any bottles you may have!

Tastes like it has been macerated in clay pots. Which could be quite interesting...
