Decanted about 8 hours. The color is still holding a dark ruby and now showing some light bricking on the edges. Youthful plums are starting to give way to blueberries, mixed with a lot of dusty tannins and plenty of acidity. The moderate complexity, with the just evolving fruit and structure, make this an especially easy to drink LBV. I Really enjoyed this bottle, even though it is not near peak yet. These Warre's LBV have the ability to age beyond most in their category. Enjoy now with a long decant, or better yet, wait another decade for this to start peaking.

This wine already lost some of its primary dark fruitiness and shows beside more mature blackberries some sweet spices. On the palate the dark berries and cherries are still there, but also some development. Really pleasurable.

Drank over one week. Dark red, lots of dark berries and plum. Balanced and holding up on day 7. Lovely to drink.

And also tastes a bit like green tannins.
