Quite a pretty and enjoyable wine though rather young and still quite light / grippy
Tasted EP in 18 and was perfumed with sweet fruit. Still has a good nose and is a good wine For me I’d like to give another 3-4 years to just soften up a touch

Deep purple. First tastes of black fruit followed by old oak and forest floor with a balance tending toward the oak continuing through the finish. Decanted for around 45 minutes. At first, there was a distinct feel of alcohol but after 15 more minutes, that dissipated. However, as the wine warmed, the tannins went from moderately grippy to having the feeling that your tongue was sticking to the roof of your mouth.
Wife was at 90 and I was closer but not quite at 91. Paired well with rib-eye steaks, green beans and couscous.

Nice nose is plum cinnamon note touch oak on a very clean presentation Plum cherry oak menthol with sturdy tannins Good acidity and a lot of structure Punches above its weight class with a nice persistent finish.: well done

Earthy, silky tannins, tart cherry, medium finish, complexity fading after several hours, probably in its drinking window
