Time has softened this wine considerably. In a great place at the moment, if the wine was kept in a cool cellar. Simple cherry flavour over a flavoursome and moreish structure that begs for another sip. Was perfect to pair with confit duck leg and duck fat potato
Drink or hold short term, not much upside anticipated. 13%abv

Cork was perfect. N: Strong aroma of cherry, some alcohol also perks up, then blows away. Some soil dampness also blows off after a few whirls. P: Soft lovely palate that is a bit simple and rustic textured. Cherries and damp soil dominate again, very few tertiary flavors for 12 year old bottle. 13%abv I will hold onto these for another 5 years. Good wine.

tasted another bottle, gets better on second day. However, its not groundbreaking. Simple flavours, lacks interest. No hurry to drink.
Drink or hold
