Pretty generous fruit with excellent back bone and acidity. The wine falls from the nights when it comes to oak treatment.bit overtaken and unbalanced.

Four hour decant, the petit verdot is at the forefront in both the nose and the palate, with dark fruit and cloves the most obvious elements closely followed by a whiff of tobacco and pepper. The tannins are structured and after the long decant the acidity was leaning towards the astringent side with a lot of pepper appearing, the body heading towards the angular side. Not sure if more decant time will mellow the acidity out or not.

This is drinking perfectly now. Give it an hour to open up.

Dark purple. Big, tart, full-bodied. Unsure how much it will soften with age. Great with strong cheese and dark chocolate.
