  Still in its infancy, but showing its depth and potential after 2 hours decanting and aeration. Cassis, cigar box and summer fruits wound right in a corset of tannins, which still cut short what will undoubtedly be a long finish. Revisit in 5 years.

  Still in the early drinking stage. Wait.

  This bottle has good fruit but still feels a bit dusty, hard and angular. Lots of tannins. Maybe this has lost some fruit but still needs time to shed its tannins. Hold or decant well and eat forgiving food.

  A pretty, glossy nose. There is very clean, intense and precise fruit peaking out from underneath but this is quickly and firmly shut down with drying, mouth-puckering tannin. NM reference to tightly coiled spring is very apt. It tastes very raw and, swirled round the glass, leaves a dark purple hue, suggesting we should please leave this alone, let it do its thing and call on again much later once it is happier to show its (considerable) talents.

  Too young to fully enjoy right now. Should have held it for another 5 years. A lot of potential, but not yet ready for consumption. I double decanted two bottles and let them breath for 4 hours; that still wasn’t enough time. Maybe tomorrow it will be better. The 2014 pinot we had at the same meal far outshowed it merely because the pinot was at peak and this one still needs time.
