  PnP (previous bottle felt a bit fragile so avoided decanting) - Oxidized nose at first.
  
  To start with this is a delicious and special wine.
  
  As the wine opens up, cherry, coke, earthy tones, menthol, iron, herbs. Taste profile develops towards more red berries shows with time, some peppery note (?), with tannins showing a dusty character yet remains silky. If it can be then it was also a bit dusty on nose (in the best sense).
  
  Texture is silky, structure more from acidity at this point, and it full on lively and kicking energy.
  
  On the second night salvia and citrus fruit becomes more pronounced on top of what it showed the first night.
  
  While on the forth night more darker fruit and fuller taste profile came through.
  
  O and yes, a long lovely finish.

  PnP, then drunk over three days.
  This was in great shape: on the nose, sometimes it showed some oxidation, depending on how long it sat in the glass, but otherwise showed an evolved, but inviting and very complex nose. The palate was absolutely lovely, juicy, with its body still fully there, and tannins which are almost gone but still biting a little. There is some old leather, mineral notes, fruit which reminds me of cranberries.
  A joy to drink.

  Dried strawberry, raspberry, cranberry and rose. Weightless, with noteworthy acidity. Finish is short. Not a ton of life here, although my bottle was stored in less than perfect conditions. This improved significantly with food.

  Big nose with heavy maturity, not much fruit left in this wine. Dried fruits, figs, raisin, old leather, balsamico. Dry tannins, still good acidity. Orange peel. Interesting but this bottle was too far gone.
