A ruby core with a hint of bricking leading to a clear meniscus. Scents of black truffle, mushroom, earth, cranberry and smoke are present after close to 3 hours in the decanter. The palate is smooth as notes of strawberry lead into cranberry and pomegranate on a tart, acid-driven finish. This is a very good-excellent wine that's lovely and ready to go now with a decant but still could handle a few years in the cellar.

Note a full TN, but just to report this was very nice. Drunk with Chinese food (don't ask!). Seemed mature, not tannic or oaky. I'd certainly try it again.

PnP. Earthy nose with some red fruit - which is quite nice. The palate is however quite flat, with most of the fruit gone. Pretty flat.
