Needs definitely 2 hrs Transforms from cedar, smoke and a rustic nose to a much more sophisticated level. Color: dark and violet Nose: red fruits and a bit of cigar Palate: still a bit fruity with a bit of integrated oak. Very nice wine

Decanted for sediment but probably should have let stand upright for a bit since there was a lot of fine sediment. Drank over the course of 2 hours and this wine showed best towards the end. Very pretty nose of ripe red and black plum, black cherry, lilac, some cocoa powder and bitter dark chocolate. Similar flavors on the palate with a very pure and bright fruit profile. Medium acid and tannin. Smooth mouthfeel and long finish. Drinking really well at the moment. Very nice wine.

In a perfect drinking spot right now. Lots of ripe red berries and cherries. Good structure, not overdone. Nice long and juicy finish. Very enjoyable right now.

Barely hitting its plateau. Focussed almost taut à point plum and other dark stoned fruits. Liquorice and oaky nuances with a capsid core and acidity. Reminiscent of waiting for a fine St Estèphe in an average vintage to hit its moment for perfect drinking... ...hasn't hit that moment yet - leave for at least another couple of years and try again! 91+ potential (when ready).
