  Getting better, much more open than previous bottle (6 months ago). Drink now, and for another 3-4 years.

  Everything you want in a CdP, however a bit muted. The tannins came around after a few hours, making me feel this has yet to develop fully. Probably wait another couple years before opening the next one. The potential is there, for sure.

  This is too young, I knew this before I started but I just couldn't resist having one. The other 11 will have to wait.
  
  Fantastic spiced nose with leather, cherries and alcohol. Over the coming years that alcohol will fade a little hopefully. The flavours are also slightly overtaken by the alcohol but there is definite spice, black olive, black fruits and pepper.
  
  I look forward to the others in a few years time.
