4 hour decant. 15%. Well - 2 years on - still a very fine wine - less aggressive and grippy than I remember - hints of background honey starting to show - complex forest fruits - elegant and rich - fair finish - nice wine.

I've been wondering if this was a keeper, or even if I should put a few more bottles in the cellar (it's on the supermarket shelves) , so I dug one out and gave it 6 hours in the decanter. Certainly the long decant has smoothed it out - it's still a heavy chappie, full of fruit and with a very long finish. A few more for the cellar would not come amiss, methinks.

Nose: fruity with some prune
Taste: licorice, prune, spice, good tannin, a nice wine.

3 hour decant.
A big blockbuster of a wine - a little sour today, but somehow getting away with it over black fruits and fine edges - pretty long.
