I always enjoy reading the notes. Everyone gets something different based on their personal preference and I’m sure a bit of bottle variation too. I enjoyed this wine. It’s got a lot of fruit still, but rounded with plenty of savoury flavour, meats, mineral, graphite. A good balance. In the zone.

Dark fruit with heavy oak with some black olive on the nose. Alcohol and tannins quite pronounced. Oak overwhelming on the palate. 90 from spouse, 87 from me.

Getting notes of mineral and burnt rock. Deep flavors of dark fruit. Good balance of acid, fruit and tannin. Medium finish. Although the flavors are dark, it is not heavy at all. Actually quite nice.

Still deep and purple, but flavour no longer smooth, long finish, but with a slight bitter taste.
